RIB CostX

Tier A ยท Listed

2D and BIM takeoff with estimating spreadsheets live-linked to drawings

RIB CostX, first sold as Exactal CostX, is a takeoff, estimating and reporting product from RIB Software, which says it is part of Schneider Electric. It measures from 2D drawings, PDFs and 3D BIM models into live-linked estimating workbooks, and comes in Complete, Core and Quantify packages. RIB lists APAC offices in Australia, China, India and New Zealand but none in Malaysia.

Pros

  • + Takeoff from 2D drawings, PDFs and 3D BIM models
  • + Estimating spreadsheets live-linked to drawings
  • + Automatic revision handling
  • + Standalone, network or cloud (CostX Cloud) licensing

Cons

  • โˆ’ No public prices: custom quote only
  • โˆ’ No Malaysian office listed by RIB
  • โˆ’ Estimating only: no accounting or e-invoicing
  • โˆ’ Aimed at quantity surveyors and estimators, not small trade firms

Malaysia note

RIB lists no Malaysian office, so Malaysian buyers get prices through RIB's global quote form. CostX is a takeoff and estimating layer only; it does no LHDN MyInvois or SST work, so pair it with local accounting software.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. RIB gives custom prices for its Complete, Core and Quantify packages through a form on its site.
