Product data sheets are by far the most valued format for product information to specifiers. This is just one of the findings in the latest ‘What Specifiers Want’ report from NBS which says that 78% of specifiers say this in the new survey.
NBS recently surveyed hundreds of architects, designers, and specifiers about how they find products and systems for projects and to get their views on construction product information and industry challenges.
Since the last report in 2017, the industry has become more digital and the information that is needed, and the way it’s delivered, has changed. The report provides insight into how suppliers and manufacturers can best assist specifiers, and provide them with the information and support they need, which should support you in addressing industry challenges and strengthen your relationship with specifiers working in the built environment.
The 2023 results have now been published in the new What Specifiers Want Report, including:
- Where specifiers get information about products and systems
- Whether they prefer brochures, data sheets, specifications, samples, or other formats
- Their views on BIM objects
- The importance of certification
- Specifiers’ approaches to working collaboratively with suppliers to specify complex systems
- Their understanding of the Building Safety Act and ‘Golden Thread’ of information
