KH

Keara H.

Office Manager

Pros

“RIB Candy is a powerful and user-friendly construction management platform that helps streamline project planning, cost estimation, and resource management.”
AM

Allia M.

Quantity Surveyor

“Customization for steel works estimates it's a challenging task to make estimate for structural steel works as the RIB is build for construction”
SK

Shakthiganesh K.

Senior Estimation Enigeer

“I work in a large organisation with multiple remote estimators working on highly complex tenders and need to view my teams portfolio and learn from job to job.”
KH

Ken H.

Head of Estimating

Cons

“Additionally, while the mobile interface is functional, there are occasional inconsistencies in loading speeds when switching between complex modules—such as moving from detailed cost reports to daily logs—which can impact efficiency during busy site visits.”
IB

Ilkin B.

Project Manager

“The only thing I wish I could do, was have the system send and email (invoice or estimate or whatever) and the email shows that its coming from me instead of contractor foreman. If I forget to tell the client, they dont recognize the email address and they dont open it.”

Selicio A.

Project Manager

“Not being able to show a sales discount has been tough for me, showing it as a negative number has effected our accounting and therefore we can no longer even show sales discount as minus one product”
CB

Cassandra B.

Window Covering Representative

Cons

“There is no functionality to use global variables, there is no copy and paste functionality, there is no ability to assign figures to use variables.”
FG

Franco G.

Estimator

“Also, the fact that i cannot copy and pste multiple cell selection at a time”
MJ

Marc J.

Quantity Surveyor

“The least thing I liked about RIB Candy was that it has a steep learning curve and can be time-consuming for new users to learn and use efficiently.”
