As Head of Classification and a Technical Author at NBS, Sarah has nearly 45 years of construction industry experience. For the past few years, she has been responsible for, and continues to manage, the development of the construction industry classification system, Uniclass 2015. Sarah has actively collaborated with senior building and infrastructure experts to ensure Uniclass 2015 comprehensively covers the requirements of these sectors.
