BuildSpace (BuildSpace Pro)

Tier S · Recommended

"A construction digital solution made by QS for QS"

A Malaysia-native (since 2016) end-to-end cloud platform for developers, contractors and consultants — BQ, e-tendering, contract management and progress claims. A standout local quantity-surveying tool.

Pros

+ Purpose-built for Malaysian QS/BQ workflow
+ Strong tender comparison (no Excel formulae)
+ Centralized cost database
+ Progress-claim / variation-order management

Cons

− Niche (QS/contractor only, not general accounting)
− Not itself an e-invoice submitter — pairs with accounting software
− Smaller vendor
− Learning curve

Malaysia note

Directly relevant to the construction e-invoicing reality — it handles the progress-claim certificates and variation orders linked to contract BQ items, exactly the documents construction firms must e-invoice individually under MyInvois. Pair it with an accounting tool for the LHDN submission itself.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based (module/seat-based).

Cubicost by Glodon

Tier A · Workable

BIM-based 5D quantity takeoff and cost estimating for construction

Glodon's Cubicost suite (TAS/TRB/TBQ/TME) for BIM quantity takeoff and 5D cost management, with a Malaysia entity plus local resellers and documented Malaysian project case studies.

Pros

+ Powerful BIM 5D takeoff (auto-deductions, rebar)
+ Local Malaysia entity + resellers
+ Proven on Malaysian projects
+ Integrates cost + schedule

Cons

− Estimating-only (no e-invoice/accounting)
− Steep learning curve
− Per-module licensing adds up
− China-HQ product (localization depth varies)

Malaysia note

Used by Malaysian QS and contractors for BQ and estimating, with Glodon Malaysia providing local sales and support — but it is a takeoff/estimating tool, not an LHDN/MyInvois one, so it pairs with accounting software.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based via Malaysian resellers (per-module: TAS/TRB/TBQ).
