Pros
“I used it extensively for quantity takeoffs, cost estimating, BOQ preparation, and tender analysis across different stages of projects.”

Cons
“To be able to access their cloud based storage solutions you need to purchase a minimum of 4 licenses which makes it difficult for smaller companies.”
CG

Chris G.

Estimator

“To undertake project revisions can sometimes be frustrating especially if it is not completely clear on the screen where any un-amended dimensions still need to be reviewed, This is often where a very small section of a line has not been reviewed and can be tricky to locate on a drawing.”

Quantity Surveyor

“CostX contains may features and tools, but these are buried in menus and under options that make navigation and use difficult for new users without significant training. ”
