RIB CostX crowned Estimation and Valuation Software of the Year 2025. 11 December, 2025 RIB CostX was once again named "Estimation and Valuation Software of the Year" at the 2025 Construction Computing Awards, also known as "The Hammers." The winners were revealed in November at the Leonardo Royal Hotel in London, where industry leaders gathered to celebrate the best in construction technology and digital innovation. This latest success marks seven consecutive Hammers wins for RIB CostX in the Estimation and Valuation category, building on RIB Candy's success in the category from 2015 to 2018. A winning streak that reinforces RIB Software's position as a benchmark for solutions serving quantity surveyors, estimators, and cost planners worldwide. A UK & Ireland success story with global impact. The Hammers recognise technology, tools, and solutions that enable the effective design, delivery, and lifecycle management of buildings and infrastructure. Winners are selected through a combination of public votes and an expert judging panel, reflecting both market trust and peer recognition. In addition to the headline award for RIB CostX, the RIB portfolio was further recognised on the night, with RIB Candy named runner-up for Project Management Software of the Year and RIB Software taking runner-up for Company of the Year. For Steve Dousie, Managing Director UK & Ireland at RIB Software, the award is a powerful endorsement of the CostX community across the region: "Seven Hammers in a row is something very special. It shows that the work quantity surveyors and cost managers do with CostX every day is recognised not just by us, but by the wider industry as well. We're incredibly grateful to everyone who voted and to our customers who continue to trust CostX for their most important projects." "This award also belongs to our UK & Ireland team and our colleagues around the world. From product development to services and support, there's a huge amount of effort that goes into making sure CostX delivers real value on live projects. I'm proud of what our teams have achieved - and excited about what's coming next for the CostX roadmap." Eleven years of estimating excellence. RIB Software has now secured the Estimation and Valuation Software of the Year title for 11 consecutive years, with RIB Candy and RIB CostX leading the pack since 2015. A period that has seen the construction industry face intense pressure from rising costs, tighter margins, and increased sustainability demands. Throughout this time, CostX has continued to evolve to support rapid 2D takeoff, model-based 5D workflows, and more transparent, defensible cost planning. Its combination of one-click 2D takeoff, powerful 3D/BIM integration, and flexible reporting helps teams minimise errors, reduce rework, and keep stakeholders aligned around a single solution. By bringing quantities, cost data, and (increasingly) carbon metrics into one environment, CostX enables organisations to produce cost plans and reports with confidence while supporting more sustainable decision-making. Looking ahead to an eighth. As construction businesses accelerate their digital transformation journeys, demand for connected, data-driven estimating continues to grow. For Steve Dousie, the seventh consecutive Hammers win is a milestone, but not the finish line: "Awards are a fantastic recognition, but they're also a reminder of the responsibility we have to keep pushing forward. Our focus for 2026 and beyond is very clear: make CostX even more connected, even more insightful, and even easier for quantity surveyors to trust, whether they're working in 2D, BIM, or across complex portfolios of work." With another Hammers trophy added to the shelf, RIB CostX closes 2025 as Estimation and Valuation Software of the Year and as a trusted partner for thousands of estimators and cost professionals committed to building better, more predictable projects.
