RIB CostX

Hi Phil,
Thanks so much for your great review! We are so pleased to hear that you find CostX such a powerful tool to use at Maltbys. It's great to hear that staff were able to pick up the program so quickly too!
In regards to your comments on cut and fill, CostX supports the extraction of cut and fill volumes from other systems via BIM. Whilst there is no dedicated cut and fill takeoff, CostX supports volume calculations based on areas with heights applied and using dimension group formulas, users can also perform more advanced volume calculations. Additionally, you're correct in noting that bulk updates to drawing file scales is in the development roadmap- for now, CostX supports adding multiple drawing files at the same time or multiple sheets /pages from a single file and the scale can be set for all added drawings in bulk at the time of adding. CostX also now supports scale and calibration factor columns on the Drawings list so that scale is always visible.
Thanks again!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to review CostX.

We're happy to hear that you're finding CostX convenient for BOQ creation and other quantity surveying workflows. We have many free webinars and blog posts available on our website that cover other time-saving tips for the QS that we've built into our software.

On the topic of affordability, we offer CostX with a range of feature levels to suit different businesses and budgets, including personal users. For example, those who don't require workbooks or reporting capability can select our CostX Takeoff option, which is cheaper than the full CostX platform. Thanks!

Hi Ahmed, thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re committed to making measurement as efficient and accurate as possible for our users so we’re pleased to hear that you’re finding this feature valuable.
Regarding your comment about layers, CostX does support layer functionality however this feature requires the architect to provide a vector file for full functionality. For guidance on how to use this feature effectively, we recommend checking out our training video, which covers this in detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5a5XkKiIk8
Hope this is helpful and thanks again for your review!
