Superior Software For Superior Results
Specialised software solutions for the construction & engineering industries - developed by contractors, for contractors. That’s been our mission at RIB CCS for over 35 years and we have built an international reputation for excellence in doing just that.
In 2007, a merger between RIB CCS and BuildSmart married the strengths of the Candy Estimating and Project Control software with those of the BuildSmart Cost and Enterprise Management software, to create a one-of-a-kind, market-leading integrated project lifecycle control solution… from first estimate to final account.
RIB CCS is a proud RIB company and together with the global pioneer in construction innovation, we strive to work together to bring new technologies to enhance productivity in the built environment, digitizing and transforming the industry as a whole.
Working with RIB CCS means collaborating with experienced construction industry professionals. Bringing Users and solution developers together ensures our solutions are constantly evolving to meet User requirements and industry trends.
We have more than 40,000 Users in over 50 countries. Best practices found in leading companies are built into our solutions and trusted by our diverse customer base of large, medium and small construction and engineering enterprises.
Comprised almost exclusively of construction industry professionals, our support teams have first-hand experience of the challenges and requirements you face daily in the field, combined with uncompromising deep solution specific knowledge and understanding.

Purpose
An effective built environment (and the associated infrastructure) is key for quality of life and prosperity. It increases productivity, aids social development and boosts growth. Put simply - without infrastructure, sustainable economic, and social development just isn't possible.
That's a big responsibility.
Everything that is not the natural environment is the built environment. It’s a vast field. It incorporates fixed assets across a range of sectors - from transport and logistics to power and energy, from telecommunications to health and education, from accommodation and facilities to natural resource extraction and beneficiation.
Asset owners rely on the various stakeholders - people like you - to develop, finance, design, engineer, construct, and operate the built environment.
That's no small task.
Our superior software solutions support you to effectively deliver the built environment through our core competency areas of design, development, implementation & training and support. RIB CCS solutions improve your ability to:
