Cubicost by Glodon
Tier A · ListedBIM quantity takeoff and cost estimating (Cubicost TAS, TRB, TME, TBQ)

- + 3D rebar takeoff (TRB) with auto-deduction
- + Works with Revit BIM models

Cons
- − No public prices: demo request only

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.
