NBS is the abbreviation for National Building Specification and is the standard for building specifications in the United Kingdom. ZeeBoer supports its customers in creating neutral, generic, product data. We therefore support every standard with this. In addition to the Dutch specification standards NL/SfB, RAW and STABU2, we could therefore also draw up specifications in C3A (Belgium), GAEB (Germany), ÖNORM (Austria).

Nederlandse Besteksystematiek
Whether or not coincidentally, the abbreviation NBS is also used by a “competitor” of STABU. The Dutch Cutlery System was founded by two former employees of STABU and wants to provide an alternative to STABU2. NBS has now included various manufacturers in a catalog. ZeeBoer can also specify in the NBS standard if you wish. For your market area, do you have the impression that specifications are written in NBS format? Then an NBS specification service is interesting.

ZeeBoer works for suppliers in the areas of building construction, civil engineering and installation. Some of our customers are also active in the retail trade (do-it-yourself). In some industries we have many, sometimes even all major manufacturers in our portfolio. Examples include roofing, concrete elements, insulation, paint industry, synthetic adhesives and coatings, tile adhesives and mortars, asphalt reinforcement and exterior decoration.

If you would call us a marketing agency, then we are a very special agency. The Utopis team combines three different qualities:

  1. We are product data specialists. Centrally managing data and exchanging it with other software or databases is what we do.
  2. We have developed our own software for this. Why? Because there was nothing there when we started.
  3. We only work for construction. That's what we studied for. So we know which information is best for your target group.

When creating our tools, in addition to the software (back-end), we often also take care of the layout (front-end). Of course we will coordinate this with you. So let your own advertising agency do what they are good at and we will provide the right database and software.



Plan an introduction

We created KISScore as an internal CRM to streamline our own operations and experiment with modern technologies such as .NET Core, Blazor, and TypeScript. KISScore links client data to projects, quotes, Utopis statistics, and accounting. It helps us work more efficiently and deliver better service.

Important to note: KISScore is not a commercial product. We don’t sell it, because our focus remains on what we do best—supporting manufacturers with product data, specification services, and PIM solutions via Utopis. Stick to your core business.

Since 1984. In the first instance, Reindert de Boer and Ok van Megchelen started under the name "De Boer van Megchelen Bouwinformatiemanagement". In 1997, ZeeBoer became the new company name. Read more about our company here.

Our servers are hosted by CSN Group, part of Interstellar, and are located in Schiphol-Rijk and Enschede. Both of these places have traditionally formed the backbone of the Internet. The way in which your website or online tool is linked to the internet is highly dependent on the data center. CSN understands this art and works for many major parties in the Netherlands and the rest of the world.

ZeeBoer helps manufacturers in the construction sector manage and distribute product data through Utopis PIM. Think specification services, websites, brochures, and digital tools.
ZeeBoer is the company behind Utopis. Utopis is the name of the software platform developed and managed by ZeeBoer. It allows manufacturers to centrally manage their product information and make it available for specifications, websites, and tools. ZeeBoer also provides consultancy on construction standards, content strategy, and data integration.

Curious as to what ZeeBoer can do for you as a manufacturer or supplier in the construction sector? ZeeBoer helps more than 100 manufacturers with the distribution of product information, specifications, specification texts and BIM data.

During an introductory meeting we discuss, without obligation of course, the solutions that you offer for construction. In what way do you now distribute product information? Does a prescriber, architect, specifications writer or BIM modeller know where to find you?
