Prior to implementing RIB solutions Candy and BuildSmart, Summertown Interiors faced challenges regarding procurement, timeous cost report generation, departments working in silos, timeous closing of books of account, delayed annual audits and visibility of cost to complete on a contract. They were also seeking software that would boost their tendering system in a highly competitive business, like interior fitout.

Summertown Interiors
Summertown Interiors chose BuildSmart to form the backbone of their financial management system and Candy as their primary estimation and project control solution.
Summertown Interiors implemented RIB to meet the challenges faced by all departments and to streamline workflows and processes from first estimate through to final account. This included:
- Candy Estimating and Project Control
- BuildSmart Accounts
- BuildSmart Site Costs
- BuildSmart Procurement
- BuildSmart Payroll and Wages
- BuildSmart Equipment and Asset Management
Summertown Interiors have not only been empowered with tools for real-time ‘cost vs allowable’ comparisons, profitability analysis, and faster and more efficient decision-making; they have also successfully executed several large-scale projects for clients such as Takeda and the Government of Dubai Media Office.
In addition, the integrated cost management solution, comprising of Candy and BuildSmart, has led to significant time-savings, with month-end closings and audits now completed much faster than before, as well as increased accuracy when estimating. Deniz explains, “the safeguards that BuildSmart Procurement has in place, to prevent allowable rates and quantities being exceeded during purchasing, have also reduced failure costs.”
