Cubicost by Glodon

Tier A ยท 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

  • โˆ’ Estimating-only (no e-invoice/accounting)
  • โˆ’ Steep learning curve
  • โˆ’ Per-module licensing adds up
  • โˆ’ 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 โ€” 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).

IFCA MSC Berhad

Tier A ยท Workable

Property & construction enterprise software, Bursa Malaysia-listed

An established Malaysian software house (founded 1987, listed on Bursa Malaysia since 2003) with 800+ clients, specializing in property developers and contractors โ€” its ContractX handles construction and contract management.

Pros

  • + Listed, well-capitalized Malaysian vendor
  • + Purpose-built property + construction modules
  • + Long track record
  • + Large local client base

Cons

  • โˆ’ Enterprise-scale (heavy for small contractors)
  • โˆ’ Quote-only
  • โˆ’ Aimed more at developers than micro-SMEs
  • โˆ’ Legacy elements in the product line

Malaysia note

Malaysia-listed and deeply localized for property/construction โ€” its ContractX targets the progress claims and contract management relevant to the MyInvois construction rules, with local SST/LHDN compliance.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Quote-based (enterprise).
