Siderise: A Manufacturer’s Model for Specification Excellence
04 November 2025 | By NBS
Today’s challenging building design landscape demands robust, compliant, and data-rich specifications. This means specifiers are under more pressure than ever before to ensure every product they select meets stringent performance, safety and sustainability criteria.
As a manufacturer, the more you can aid specifiers in making informed product decisions, the more likely you are to have your products selected.
Don’t just take our word for it.
In this case study, we hear from Siderise, a manufacturer specialising in fire protection solutions for the building envelope, to explore how they have embraced the NBS platform to empower specifiers with the tools and information they need to make confident, compliant choices.
If you want to win more projects at the specification stage, keep reading to see how Siderise harnesses the power of NBS to deliver value to specifiers by integrating high-quality product data, BIM objects, and CPD resources into the specification process…
When Siderise first joined NBS in 2009, the manufacturer was looking for ways to raise its profile among architects and specifiers. The challenge was clear: how to make its product information more visible, more accessible, and more trusted within specifications.
Recognising NBS’s heritage - over 50 years of developing specification tools - gave Siderise confidence that the platform was both credible and widely trusted across the industry. This assurance underpinned its decision to adopt a specification-led approach.
“The main driver for adopting NBS was to initially enhance our visibility and connect with architects and specifiers to share comprehensive construction product information and valuable formats of data to support the development of robust specifications.”
