Good construction specifications are never created in isolation. Design choices, technical performance, costs and practical feasibility are all connected. That is why BNB and NVBK are organising a joint knowledge event. As an active BNB member, ZeeBoer will of course be there.

And this time, several parts of our world come together. The event will be hosted by Forbo Eurocol, a ZeeBoer client we have worked with for many years. A fitting place to exchange knowledge with specification and cost experts about everyday construction practice.

Knowledge from different disciplines

BNB, the Dutch professional association for construction specification experts, and NVBK, the Dutch association for construction cost experts, have been working more closely together since 2026. It is a logical combination. While specification experts carefully describe requirements and solutions, cost experts look at aspects such as the financial consequences from their own professional perspective.

These disciplines constantly come together in construction projects. Choosing a particular material or system affects its technical design, specification, execution and costs.

Construction is also becoming increasingly digital. BIM, construction specifications, classifications and product data are becoming more closely interconnected. That makes it even more important for professionals from different disciplines to keep exchanging knowledge.

Manufacturers are part of the chain

Manufacturers also play an important role in this chain. After all, they understand not only their products, but especially the possibilities and limitations of their application.

A good STABU2 or RAW specification is therefore more than just a piece of text. Behind it lies product knowledge: properties, performance, ancillary products, combinations, substrates and installation instructions. Exactly the knowledge needed to turn a design into a building that can actually be constructed as intended.

The fact that this event is being held at Eurocol illustrates this nicely. The knowledge of manufacturers, specification experts and cost experts does not exist in isolation. Ultimately, it all comes together in the same construction project.

Keep meeting and sharing knowledge

ZeeBoer has been involved in construction specifications and the product information behind them since 1984. Being an active member of BNB is part of that. Not only to share our own knowledge, but just as importantly to hear about the developments and questions facing professionals who work with construction specifications every day.

That is why we are pleased to attend the joint BNB and NVBK knowledge event. And the fact that we will be guests of our client Eurocol this time makes it even more enjoyable for us.
