To maintain NMS's relevance, the NRC publishes a series of updates on a quarterly basis. The following summarizes the latest set of updates.
NMS summary of updates 2021-01
The 2021-01 NMS publication includes:
Master performance and design specifications: 102 specifications are now organized by major building functional elements using the UniFormatTM classification system. References for energy efficient and net zero operational carbon building design and operation were introduced into 37 Sections across Elements B and D to G.
Updates to master prescriptive specification sections include:
- Incorporated guidance on thermal resilience into 9 sections across Divisions 04 and 07.
- Updated Division 01 and Division 03 sections with requirements for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to demonstrate life-cycle assessment of embodied carbon in construction materials.
- Integrated sustainability requirements into 15 sections in Division 01 for aspects such as low carbon, water, materials, plastics, and construction waste disposal in projects.
- Updated 3 sections on resilient flooring from Division 09 to meet current industry standards and best practices, and to improve cross-trade coordination.
- Edited acronyms and references in 3 sections in Divisions 01, 08 and 09.

NMS summary of updates 2017-01
The 2017–01 NMS includes a new section that focuses on removal and salvage of construction materials and forming a preliminary component to other selective demolition activities. It also covers updated sections related to deconstruction of structures, removal of construction materials, removal of underground storage tanks, conservation treatment of period masonry and stone, as well as sections for cast-in-place concrete, wood treatment and rough carpentry. As a significant enhancement to the data set, descriptions are now provided for each NMS section. The descriptions will help users find appropriate sections, and will be searchable on the NRC's website, and within some of the third party software tools.

NMS summary of updates 2016-01
A series of corrections were made as part a of a general quality assurance review. Thousands of punctuation and spelling changes were made to improve consistency and ensure Canadian spelling throughout, for example 'colour' rather than 'color', 'fibre' rather than 'fiber'.
Enhancements were also made to align with SectionFormat™, such as listing standards under a heading of Reference standards. For consistency in tab levels, Abbreviations, Definitions and Reference standards were all promoted to top-level article titles. Other changes were made to reflect specification writing language such as changing the requirement to submit (rather than provide) engineer sealed drawings.
There are over one hundred references to Codes Canada 2015 throughout. Each was reviewed and updated to the 2015 editions. There are a few exceptions related to seismic design that require additional review before updating code references are updated.
A few sections were renumbered or re-titled to align with MasterFormat® and a more extensive adjustment will be released on the next NMS publication.
