Specification Hub
Building Envelope Resources & Support
The Specification Hub is your comprehensive resource for building envelope specification. From Strategic Definition through to Technical Design, we support architects, designers, and specifiers with BIM objects, EPDs and calculations.
Our Specification Team is on hand to help you navigate regulations and choose SFS solutions best suited to your project.
Request structured BIM Level 2 product data to support accurate, compliant design across the full building lifecycle.
Our downloadable BIM objects integrate seamlessly with Revit, ArchiCAD and other platforms, helping improve coordination, reduce specification errors and streamline SFS product design workflows.
Explore SFS product data and specification guidance on NBS Source.
Our listings provide pre-written clauses, key technical performance data, certifications, EPDs and BIM objects in one place. Fully integrated and ready to drop into your process, they help specifiers write robust, compliant specifications.
