BuildSpace (BuildSpace Pro)
Tier A · ListedMalaysian cloud platform for construction tendering, estimating and project delivery
BuildSpace is made by Global PCK Solutions Sdn Bhd of Kuala Lumpur, which cites research dating back to 2011. Its eProject platform covers project cost preparation, tender submission and on-site progress evaluation for developers, main contractors, subcontractors and consultants, alongside the BuildSpace Pro estimating tool and the ProcureX procurement platform.

- + Covers cost preparation, tendering and progress evaluation
- + Estimating tool with built-in quantity surveyor procedures
- + Procurement platform (ProcureX) for suppliers and materials
Cons
- − No public prices: demo request only
- − Construction-only: no general accounting
- − No e-invoicing features described; needs separate accounting software
- − Aimed at project teams more than small trade firms
Malaysia note
BuildSpace is a Kuala Lumpur product used on Malaysian projects by developers and contractors such as Gamuda, PKNS and YTL Construction, according to its site. It covers tendering, estimating and progress evaluation, not LHDN e-invoicing, so pair it with accounting software for MyInvois submission.
Cubicost by Glodon
Tier A · ListedBIM quantity takeoff and cost estimating (Cubicost TAS, TRB, TME, TBQ)
Cubicost is the 5D BIM cost-estimating suite of Glodon Company Limited, founded in China in 1998 and listed on the A-share market since 2010 (stock code 002410).

Cons
- − No public prices: demo request only
- − Estimating and takeoff only: no accounting or e-invoicing

Malaysia note
Glodon's Asia site lists a Malaysia office in Petaling Jaya (+603 7931 6081) and Malaysian case studies from QS and M&E firms. Cubicost is a takeoff and estimating tool, not an LHDN MyInvois tool, so it pairs with accounting software for e-invoicing.
