The following Nucor Buildings Group (American Buildings, CBC Steel Buildings, Kirby Building Systems and Nucor Building Systems), Standard Specifications Guide provides the owner or design professional a detailed description of all standard Nucor Buildings Group (NBG) products. This guide is designed to aid the architect or engineer of record in the process of specifying the best building system solution. These comprehensive specifications cover many aspects of the NBG product line. Since it is possible to apply the various NBG products covered in this manual in many different ways, not all conditions are addressed, and more detailed information is available. For the unique needs of an individual project building design, please contact the appropriate brand's engineering team for assistance. The specifications incorporates, by reference, the latest edition of the MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual, published by the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA), to all NBG project specifications.
