RIB CostX - Fundamentals

The CostX Fundamentals course aims to inform and demonstrate the principles of 2D Measurement and the principles of more advanced use of Workbooks using RIB CostX

It provides a structured foundation in digital estimating workflows, combining essential skills in 2D measurement and workbook-based cost breakdowns. Learners progress from basic setup to advanced techniques, ensuring competence in core estimating tasks aligned with professional CPD standards.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Project & Drawing Setup: Create projects, import building data, and prepare common drawing formats for accurate measurement.
• Precision Measurement: Apply point and line modes, dimension groups, and shortcuts to measure areas, lengths, and counts efficiently.
• Structured Data Management: Build and manage workbooks to organise quantities, link dimension groups, and maintain live updates for dynamic cost models.
• Quantity & Rate Integration: Populate quantity sheets, apply rate sheets for cost breakdowns, and leverage libraries for consistent pricing logic.
• Quality & Reporting: Use workbook tools to validate data, export structured outputs, and generate reports that meet industry compliance and audit requirements.

By completing this bundle, learners gain practical skills to measure, structure, and report project data with accuracy and transparency—critical for modern estimating practice. Each module is mapped to CPD objectives, reinforcing professional competency in digital takeoff, cost planning, and data integrity.
