Next month, NATSPEC will release the second 2021 update to the National Building Specification. This national master specification, which includes all Branded Worksections, is updated every April and October to ensure it accurately reflects current regulations, standards and industry practices.

Only an up-to-date specification can appropriately respond to the needs of the design and construction industry. Updated information protects specifiers and their clients. It facilitates communication between each party and helps to assure everyone involved that decisions for products, materials and techniques are safe and in line with current regulations. This can improve the quality of the final build.

Product manufacturers like yourself are also protected by accurate, up-to-date specifications. All NATSPEC Branded Worksections are updated with their corresponding generic sections. This means that the product featured in your Branded Worksection can continue to be used safely. Twice a year, Product Partners receive the updated Branded Worksection, and as a Product Partner you should have your NATSPEC branded worksection link on your website, which is generated from the NATSPEC website, Branded Worksection page, and will automatically update to your website each April and October. This is an excellent reason to keep in frequent contact with NATSPEC subscribers. Each update your Branded Worksection is a new selling point for you as a Product Partner. Working with a Branded Worksection, architects and specifiers have all the advantages of a largely pre-filled document featuring your product’s relevant information. On top of this, they have current information about regulations, standards and practices and how these apply to your product. 

The NATSPEC October 2021 update is a new opportunity to make the most of your Branded Worksection. Use it as a tool in your presentations to sell your product knowing that the information in your Branded Worksection is accurate, up to date and reliable.
