Since the release of Version 1.0 in 2004, RIB CostX has taken our customers on an amazing journey of precision, accuracy and transparency. Thanks to CostX, two decades of users have improved their flexibility, reduced errors and saved time and money across all processes in their construction lifecycle.


From Version 1.0 to Version 7.2, our journey has been guided by invaluable feedback from our users. With each iteration, we’ve added features and functionality, continuously striving to fulfil our commitment to make construction more efficient and sustainable for all.

“CostX was first to integrate 2D and 3D BIM take-off as well as cost and carbon estimating on a single platform. Over the last 20 years, we’ve listened and implemented changes to our product in line with customer expectations, resulting in CostX maturing into a trusted solution for the market. In fact, it is the go-to product for the New Zealand construction industry. We see how people change companies and take CostX along with them as the de facto product because it always meets their requirements.”

“CostX has proven invaluable for our company. All our estimators now have visibility into projects and new design aspects through the 3D model, which allows us to discover design features and price them up front. This gives us the ability to easily optimize our budgets in a way we haven’t before. The team at CostX is now an integral part of our technological transformation and delivers the best customer support we could ask for.”​

“CostX is probably the greatest invention to the field of quantity surveying since Excel. It has allowed our company to triple its output and revenue since implementation, while simultaneously allowing us to ensure each client is still provided with the same personalized service as before. Any client should have CostX as their number one requirement when looking for a consultancy.”
