How NBS CA Saves Tektum Group 50% More Time Spec Writing Than While Using Word
Who is Tektum Consulting Group?
Tektum Consulting Group is a specialized consulting firm in the construction industry. They focus on the building envelope, specifically the industrial commercial roofing and wall assembly systems.
Why did Tektum turn to NBS?
Before using Hubexo, the Tektum team relied on Word documents to create technical specifications.
With a national team working remotely and across different time zones, it became incredibly difficult to keep their documents cohesive. Files were saved in different locations, components were often missing, and they spent a lot of time duplicating work.
How does NBS help?
NBS Chorus allows the Tektum team to have one central platform where all their specifications are stored dramatically reducing the time spent writing and managing documents. Project stakeholders are able to collaborate seamlessly without worrying about missing key elements to version control issues.
Tektum has eliminated duplication, improved consistency, and finally have a structured system that work for their distributed team. Today, all of their technical specifications live within NBS Chorus.
They build master documents directly in the platform and, for each new project, pull from those masters to create tailored, job-specific specifications. It’s streamlined, efficient, and reliable.
Additionally, NBS Chorus enables users to pull product specifications directly from NBS Source, thereby minimizing claim liability and, of course, expediting the specification writing itself.
What measurable results has Tektum seen while using NBS?
Quantifiably, the results have been significant. Tektum estimates a 50% reduction in the time required to prepare specifications compared to using a typical text editor. They also see a further reduction in time spent reviewing and editing these specifications in the review process by 15%.
The team is making far fewer amendments after issuing documents because Hubexo allows us to assemble comprehensive, accurate specs from the very beginning.

Kevin Voorberg, President Tektum Consulting Group, “I recommend Hubexo for its time-saving capabilities and its power to bring an entire team—remote or office-based—onto one cohesive, easy-to-access platform. It has made collaboration seamless with minimal interruptions. It’s simply a beautiful way to work.”
