RIB CostX

RIB CostX offers a robust suite of features that streamline the entire estimating and quantity takeoff process for construction professionals. At its core, the software supports both 2D and 3D/BIM takeoff, allowing users to measure directly from scanned drawings, PDFs, CAD files, and intelligent BIM models. This versatility ensures accurate quantity extraction regardless of the design format. One of its standout capabilities is the live-linked workbook system, which connects cost data directly to drawings—so any design changes automatically update the associated estimates. Revision tracking adds transparency by highlighting modifications between drawing versions, while embodied carbon calculations support sustainability goals by assessing environmental impact. Users can customize client outputs, sort data by zones or codes, and compare subcontractor bids—all within a single platform. With cloud deployment options and REST API integrations, RIB CostX also enables real-time collaboration and seamless connectivity with other business systems, making it a future-ready solution for modern construction workflows.
