It has simplified our processes, improved efficiency, and ensured that we can continue to deliver a consistently high-quality cost consultancy service. I would highly recommend RIB CostX as a valuable solution for cost consultancy in the construction industry.

Rund’s specialist services include Building Consultancy, Cost Consultancy, Project Management and Employer’s Agent, Clerk of Works, Development Monitoring and Sustainability support. Featuring in Building’s prestigious Top 150 Consultants league table, their specialist approach makes them a Consultant of Choice – with the promise of helping their clients build stronger, together.
As demand for Rund’s cost consultancy services and client base grew across the UK, they found themselves needing to innovate their processes, moving towards greater automation and data storage so that their clients could continue to receive a consistently high quality and accurate cost consultancy service.
Rund also wanted to create a more standardised template document to ensure consistency in the presentation of their documents and reports going forward, which would also allow for significant time saving through minimising the time spent on formatting documents – therefore enabling quicker responses to client requests.
- After extensive research into various companies and software options, Rund chose to place an order for the RIB CostX solution due to its easy-to-use functionality which allows for straightforward linking between measurement and cost planning tools.
- Rund implemented CostX Network licences (providing concurrent user access) deployed on the CostX cloud platform, which gave them:
- A collaborative platform that provides personnel from all offices in London, Birmingham, Bristol, and Southampton with access to a single database and one accurate source of data.
- Accessibility regardless of working location.
- Custom Report: Rund have been able to produce a template that allows the business to generate their final output directly from the software, rather than having to rely on manual processes.
- Online training: RIB CostX online training courses enabled personnel from Rund to quickly become proficient on the software thus ensuring a rapid, successful adoption.
- Overall efficiency and productivity have improved across the board.
- Higher transparency.
- Improved collaboration between Rund teams and their clients
