Implementing RIB CostX^® into classes:

Measurement and estimation are integral components of the quantity surveying profession, and it is also a prerequisite that civil engineering and engineering surveying professionals have adequate knowledge of these skills. Considering the importance of being accurate and time-efficient in today’s competitive industry environment, we have therefore introduced RIB CostX^® to our students.

Being the leading software for 2D and 3D BIM measurement, the RIB CostX^® educational version was the standout solution to implement in our programs. Students undergo activity-based training and, for assessment, are given an assignment to measure their level of RIB CostX^® skills.

Outcomes:

The versatility of RIB CostX^®, coupled with its elaborate functions, gives our students a competitive edge. They are bound to become better and more accurate estimators with continued RIB CostX^® training, surpassing their future employers’ requirements, and paving the way for good career progression. Studies were also uninterrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic, with students being able to learn RIB CostX^® remotely from home.

Final thoughts:
