I have a couple of questions regarding NMS. How widely is this used outside of the government? Do you see a lot of private sector companies using NMS?
Also, the way I understand it, NMS is for making contract documents that go to outside companies for design work. Does anyone build their own internal design specifications based on NMS documents?
I'm just curious as I'm working for a government organization and they have "piping specs" that are huge 15 page wordy documents (built to look like NMS specs). But when I worked at an oil and gas consulting firm a piping spec was a succinct 1 or 2 page tabular document.
I'm trying to figure out what is the norm here, my experience in oil and gas was not with regular building systems and now I'm working on regular old hvac systems. Is NMS edit regularly used for buildings or is it just a government thing?
Thanks,
K
