With fewer projects moving from feasibility study to construction site, and the pipeline of future work narrowing according to forecasts, building product manufacturers need to make sure that they’re targeting all those with influence over final product choices. But the number of influencers is growing, fuelled to an extent by new technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM). So how do you ensure that no-one falls through the net?

CIMCIG’s half-day seminar The changing face of specification and selection, sponsored by RIBA Insight, brings together an architect, specification writer, BIM specialist, services engineer, quantity surveyor and marketer to provide some answers. Each will offer a very practical insight into their own area of expertise and how their roles are changing. NBS’ own head of specification Ian Chapman will explain what BIM is and the increasingly important role it will play in future specification processes.

This is a must-see seminar for all those with an interest in specification marketing, so book now. Places will go fast.
