Construction Cost Estimation by RIB CostX Software
RIB CostX integrates 3D/BIM with cost estimation, automatic quantity takeoff for construction project.
What you'll learn
The more accurately measure the quantity for Structural, Finishing, Electrical and Plumbing
Calculate the quantity with 3d view including deductive items
Prepare dynamic BOQ (when you change the dimension automatically adjust in BOQ)
Improved accuracy in estimates can lead to better project margins
Increased likelihood of winning bids due to more competitive and accurate estimates
Ability to handle larger or more complex projects without a proportional increase in estimation time
Better tracking and analysis of historical data for future estimates can enhance decision-making
Requirements
No prerequisites are required when you learn this RIB CostX Software
Description
RIB CostX: Comprehensive Cost Estimating & Takeoff Software RIB Cost X is a leading cost estimating and quantity takeoff software designed for professionals in the construction, engineering, and infrastructure industries. It enables users to efficiently extract quantities from 2D drawings, 3D/BIM models, and CAD files, streamlining cost estimation and improving accuracy.Key Features of RIB CostX1. Advanced Takeoff Capabilities 2D Takeoff: Perform rapid on-screen measurements from PDF, DWG, and other image-based drawings using smart tools for linear, area, and count-based takeoffs.3D/BIM Takeoff: Extract quantities directly from BIM models (IFC, Revit, DWFx) with intelligent object recognition, allowing detailed cost analysis at different design stages.Live-linked Measurements: All quantities are automatically linked to the costing workbook, ensuring real-time updates when modifications occur.2. Integrated Cost Estimation Customizable Workbooks: Build detailed cost estimates with dynamic, spreadsheet-style workbooks that automatically update when takeoff measurements change.Rate Libraries: Maintain a centralized database of cost rates, ensuring consistency across projects and facilitating bench marking.Automatic Summarization: Group and filter cost data based on materials, trades, or project phases for better cost control and reporting.3. Seamless 3D/BIM Model Integration Supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, extracting structured data directly from models.Interactive 3D model viewer with drill-down capabilities for detailed cost analysis.
Synchronization with Revit, Navisworks, and other BIM platforms.4. Multi-User Collaboration & Cloud SupportNetworked and multi-user access for real-time collaboration across teams.Cloud-based options allow remote work and access to project data anytime, anywhere.Role-based permissions ensure data security and controlled access.5. Reporting & ExportingGenerate detailed cost reports, cash flow forecasts, and project summaries.Export data to Excel, PDF, or integrate with third-party project management and ERP software.Customizable templates for bid preparation, progress claims, and final accounts.
