Powerful Project Costing Software.

smart outline modes capture digital dimensions with ease

CostX is the new costing standard for contractors, quantity surveyors, architects and engineering professionals worldwide. Using CostX, you can easily extract dimensions from CAD files. The simple interface is highly intuitive and can be directly linked to a costing library to provide instant budget or valuation of buildings.

CostX supports unlimited Projects, within which unlimited buildings and cost plans can be supported. Within a building, multiple drawings can be added (eg., multi-story buildings, electrical plans etc) and the dimensions from multiple drawings can grouped into logical dimension groups.


New Features:

• full multisheet DWF support
• trade to elemental workbook sorting (and vice versa) including rate and quantity breakdown analysis
• building templates
• filtering dimensions by zone
• enhanced workbook integration with Excel
• advanced import / export and significantly expanded reporting capabilities

Feature rich, CostX encompasses a powerful toolset for the quantity surveying and estimating professional -- wraped up in one intuitive, easy to use package. See it all in these quick demonstrations.
