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). Its Asia site lists a Malaysia office at Jaya One, Petaling Jaya, and case studies from Malaysian firms including WT Partnership and Sunline M&E. The suite includes TAS for quantity takeoff, TRB for rebar takeoff, and TME and TBQ.
Pros

- + 3D rebar takeoff (TRB) with auto-deduction
- + Works with Revit BIM models
- + Malaysia office in Petaling Jaya and Malaysian case studies
Cons
- − No public prices: demo request only
- − Estimating and takeoff only: no accounting or e-invoicing
- − Separate products per trade (TAS, TRB, TME, TBQ)
- − Aimed at quantity surveyors and estimators, not small trade firms
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.
