Powerful Project Costing Software.


CostX is the new costing standard for contractors, quantity surveyors, architects and engineering professionals worldwide. Using CostX, you can easily extract dimensions from CAD files. The simple interface is highly intuitive and can be directly linked to a costing library to provide instant budget or valuation of buildings.

CostX supports unlimited Projects, within which unlimited buildings and cost plans can be supported. Within a building, multiple drawings can be added (eg., multi-story buildings, electrical plans etc) and the dimensions from multiple drawings can grouped into logical dimension groups.
