The Reliable NATSPEC System
NATSPEC documents are not only high quality—they are also very reliable. NATSPEC editors maintain currency through the regular update service, which allows NATSPEC subscribers to feel confident that they are working with the most relevant, accurate documents.
Branded Worksections contain all the same up-to-date NATSPEC information and regulatory references as a generic worksection. Their added benefit is the inclusion of your product. We work directly with you, the Product Partner to develop a Branded Worksection that showcases your product’s unique characteristics and how it can be used to its full potential.
Your product information is included in NATSPEC’s clear and concise specification structure. Information is easy to find, and the documents are straightforward to edit for project-specific requirements. NATSPEC maintains the National Classification System and uses the same structure across all its worksections, creating a common language for all parties involved in a project.
NATSPEC documents, including your Branded Worksection, are comprehensive and nationally applicable. As a Product Partner, you contribute to the reliability of NATSPEC information.
The NATSPEC Update Service
The regular update service is what makes NATSPEC, including your Branded Worksection, such a valuable resource. With these updates, NATSPEC provides an economy of scale for subscribers and specifiers.
In a Branded Worksection, your featured product information sits alongside all the information included in the corresponding NATSPEC generic worksection. This includes references to Australian Standards, relevant international and other standards, the National Construction Code, and other regulations. NATSPEC’s team of editors keeps track of all changes to these standards and regulations, something that is not economically viable for most architectural practices. Regulatory and standards changes are then included in the NATSPEC updates every April and October.
Updating NATSPEC specifications, including Branded Worksections, twice a year ensures that they are accurate. This provides every NATSPEC subscriber with an important baseline level of quality for their projects. The same level of quality is reflected in your Branded Worksection.
