RIB Software GmbH

“IB 4.0 is an enterprise management platform, which can realize multi-project management. Its strength in project collaboration, integration with ERP and PM system, and database configuration meet the business need of our company. RIB shares the same vision with CREDC, we are willing to be running together with RIB to digitalize the railway industry with BIM technologies.”

“It’s raised the bar on clarity and coordination for ABI and helped them meaningfully shift quality outcomes.”

“So, it's like you can write specs on your worst day like it was your best day – this is how these tools can help you function.”

“Start with tagging, see what it tells you, and then use that to link for instantaneous value.”

“Because it's tagged, you can present 20 pages, once it's updated, with running a new report. So, it's not like you have this huge, arduous to pull all this information out of the current specs. That's just not logistically possible.”

“When you've got a tool that allows you to make connections within your content ahead of time, then it's easier to respond to that last minute project or that last minute change.”

“Speclink provided me, as the spec writer, the most control to do specifications better.”

“AFCONS took a leap of faith a couple of years back when it decided to integrate the Candy software into its system. We started looking for software that wouldn’t just calculate tender cost but give a near-accurate analysis of tenders. We wanted it to also give a quick and correct estimation while tendering. We chose Candy from a pool of software and our decision was vindicated. It exceeded our expectations in terms of performance.”

“Build up the courage, take the leap, and the rewards will far exceed your expectations.”

“Once that hurdle was overcome and everybody saw that it actually brings ease to their own working station, it went easier, and we all bore the fruits.”

“Time and accuracy, our management of labor cost – that’s our big, biggest risk in the construction industry… it became much more efficient.”

“The immediate improvement was getting quick reports – the accurate real-time information that we received and that we could act on to reduce losses, improving the bottom line, that's important to us in the business.”

“All these platforms, which are linked together, are a really good tool for contractors, because you have the whole process in one place. When everything is linked together, I have the entire audit trail of the project in one platform, and it makes it much easier later on, especially now at handover of the project: What tender documents did we have, what drawings did we have, are there any unanswered inspection notes or anything else I need to handle - in other words, I have all the information I need to complete the handover, in one platform.”

“All these platforms, which are linked together, are a really good tool for contractors, because you have the whole process in one place”

““Now it's time for the concrete benefits of this implementation”, Christian Dorsch concludes. “Employees have spent 15% of their time searching for information. With RIB 4.0 as the single source of truth, we will successfully reduce this to 5%.””

“Candy is a fantastic estimating tool for large and complicated projects as it contains and controls all aspects of the project, saving time for all parties involved. Candy is the norm for us. There is no job that goes out of this office where Candy is not used.”

“The result is balance – that is, a balance between discipline and expertise, standardized methods supported by decades of personal experience.”

“The software enhances the user’s output – it isn’t there to replace the user.”

“We used to do things with a pen and pencil, but that never brought the consistency we needed. The confidence and estimate output were based upon the estimator’s experience, whereas today we don't have those people around in construction. And it’s really difficult building teams.”

“The challenge is creating disciplined, repeatable processes while still preserving human judgement that remains central to good estimating. Tools alone can't solve this, but they can support resilience, transparency, and strong governance.”

“It’s about having the correct software, the correct processes and procedures, and using the coding systems set up in both Candy and CostX.”

“RIB’s support team undoubtedly has comprehensive knowledge of the system. In addition to their exceptional level of communication, RIB creates a personalized experience for us through small gestures that left an indelible mark on our overall perception of the brand. The support consultant continuously demonstrates her commitment towards ensuring customer satisfaction, and whenever our business requirements change, the team is on hand to assist and provide the solutions that will benefit our organization,”

“Our support consultant is always a phone call away whenever we are experiencing problems, even for the smallest issue we may have. She is always ready to assist, and her expertise is unmatched in the industry.”

“I’d recommend BuildSmart as a fully integrated system that includes payroll, plant and procurement modules. It gives us greater visibility and control, as all our information and documents are in one place. The combination of value for money, for all these modules in one system, together with dedicated support is great.”

“This platform is a component of a broader plan to continue to refine our industry-leading preconstruction services. The accuracy and efficiency afforded by the platform is part of our Austin TRUE philosophy… Trusted Results, Unmatched Effort. We are continuing to raise the bar on what we can do for our clients and the timeframe required to provide accurate information that they can make decisions with.”
