What’s a custom collection?

A custom collection allows you to create a library of standards that you need, which means that you’re in complete control of the standards you choose. Decide exactly which standards are most important to you and build your own collection. Purchase a minimum of 25 credits and add standards to your collection as and when you need them.

What’s a pre-built standards module?

We’ve grouped together our standards by subject to give you the complete set of standards on that specific area, rather than choosing them individually. Each pre-built standards module contains thousands of individual standards. 

Alternatively, you can subscribe to our pre-built modules and then add a custom collection to pick and choose other essential standards from the wider BSOL library or take the full collection of standards within BSOL.

Environmental challenges and standards as solutions

The importance of sustainability and the circular economy has never been more pressing. Our standards are at the forefront of environmental management, helping businesses save energy, save money and save the environment.

Managing cost, quality and projects in the construction industry

BSOL helps you delivering projects on time and on budget, as well as reducing the risks of defects or failures, delays, overspending and environmental impacts.
