‘Cubicost’ is a combination of two words. 'Cubic' means 'the shape of a cube', which reflects that the
products under this brand apply BIM (Building Information Model) as the core technology. 'Cost' indicates
the key value of the software, which is to provide integrated cost solution for customers in AEC industry.
Cubicost BIM suite is comprised of four individual BIM-based software products (TAS, TRB, TME, TBQ) that
are focused on different needs of quantity surveying business. All these four products together virtually
cover all general requirements in construction cost estimation business. Moreover, BIM model and related
data can be easily transferred between four products, bringing you the most professional, efficient and
accurate BIM cost estimation experience.
INTRODUCTION As a BIM solution for cost estimation, which is different from traditional methods, Cubicost enables data and
model sharing among other popular software from upstream to downstream in the industry.
