NATSPEC subscriber case studies showcase the real-world benefits of NATSPEC specifications and Branded Worksections. For the Spring Product Partners Newsletter, we’re deconstructing a major case study on the tallest building in Melbourne. Read on to discover what subscribers find most useful about the NATSPEC system.

NATSPEC Subscriber:
Fender Katsalidis

Project Name:
Australia 108

The project in one sentence:
“Australia 108 is a highly sculptural residential tower in Southbank, Melbourne, that features a golden starburst jutting out from the tower’s curved profile against the sky.”

What were the advantages of the NATSPEC system for Fender Katsalidis?

“In a specification, references to construction standards need to be kept up to date. This requires an awareness of changes to construction techniques as a result of newer products, materials and processes. Specification information also needs to be correct, relevant and well-structured. While all of this can be done within an architectural practice, to do the necessary research and properly maintain that information takes a lot of effort. This can be expensive and take valuable human resources away from other projects. This is why we trust NATSPEC. NATSPEC handles all of that work for us, and most definitely does it the best. We are delivered a document that is comprehensive, up to date, relevant and incredibly useful. The research and knowledge that supports the information NATSPEC provides cannot be replaced by architects or by a BIM model.”
