Information – System Upgrade

Please note that during 4/7/2023 we are switching over our internet provision to fibre.

There may be times during this switch where we are not able to respond as quickly to support as we would in normal circumstances, also as the phone system is VoIP so may have the odd down time.

This situation should only occur during the physical switch if at all, we appreciate your patience at this time.

ADB 2022 – dataset 

ADB2022 Dataset is now the default dataset.

This updated dataset incorporates the ADB2020 dataset together with HBN 00-03 and the isolation and bariatric exemplars.

ADB 20 – dataset

Following a number of recent queries from clients undertaking refurbishment projects and revisiting historic schemes, we wondered if it may help to make available the comprehensive ADB 20 dataset with 380 Departments/Schedules of Accommodation utilising 1550 Exemplar Rooms.

Whilst many spaces have been superseded there is such a vast variety of spaces that some of you may find it of help during these projects.

Please be advised that ADB 20 was released in 2005 and is in the old engineering format, use at your own discretion.
