Planner/Scheduler
Project planners and schedulers play a vital role in advancing a project’s trajectory by identifying and mitigating potential conflicts or bottlenecks.

These professionals are responsible for formulating and implementing project schedules and timelines, to achieve the ultimate goal of completing construction projects promptly and within budget. RIB Software provides all-in-one solutions for planners and schedulers.

What Our Clients Say
Following an extensive review of the software options in the marketplace, we decided that CostX best met our requirements in allowing our clients to have full visibility of marked up drawings, measurement and quantities. We are now using CostX on some of the UK’s largest and most complex construction and infrastructure projects.
We are excited about the adoption of CostX in our business. CostX’s enhanced functionality and ease of use will be of great benefit to our staff and ultimately our clients as we look to continually improve our service. CostX’s ability to link to our other systems, in particular our Global Unite tool, will enable us to further develop our intellectual property that allows us to give better advice to our clients at the inception of their projects.
CostX has proven to exceed our expectations from the original demo and research. The service that we have received from the Exactal team is top notch and very fast.
The increasing digitisation of the industry has opened up even more opportunities to take advantage of new and emerging technologies for the benefit of our clients. Thanks to our 100+ year history, we hold one of the largest global asset and cost data sets in industry. Now with the benefit of CostX, we can accelerate new ways of working to deliver leading solutions for the benefit both of our clients, and ultimately for their customers. Our overarching objective is to be recognised as the Digital frontrunner in industry, and we look forward to working closely with Exactal moving forwards to proactively deliver the innovation necessary to meet the future needs of our clients.
CostX is the most powerful 2D and 3D combined estimating tool we have seen. Take off is simple and the estimate spreadsheet platform is easy to understand and customize. CostX technical support is one of the best I have ever worked with for on-going support and new version releases. I would highly recommend this program!
