Candy includes master libraries with templates based on previous work, allowing users to head start on similar project types, save time and eliminate repetition. Candy allows businesses to allocate multiple subcontractors to a bill item with each contractor having an individual quantity or rate and generate weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly payment certificates using Excel templates. Businesses can facilitate effective and powerful decision-making through real-time analytics, earned value management, KPI measurement, and cost reporting on several operations including production, resource, manhours, and wastage. It offers a dashboard, which lets administrators produce graphical and numeric histograms and 's-curves' for resource, quantity, budget, and revenue forecasts. Provides continuity between estimating and the post-tender commercial control through dynamic integration between QTO, estimating, planning, forecasting, cash flow, and valuations. Candy integrates with BuildSmart to facilitate upfront purchase control (procure-to-pay) and accurate budget vs cost analysis and reporting ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.5/5** | 252 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support Software | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.4/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: RIB Software - **Founded**: 1961 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$200.00 - **Pricing model**: Flat Rate (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Please contact RIB Software for pricing information. - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Windows (Desktop) - **Available Countries**: Angola, Australia, Bahrain, Botswana, Comoros, Cyprus, Egypt, Germany, Ghana, Greece, India, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia and 12 more ## Features - Accounting Integration - Accounting Software - Agile Methodologies - Audit Trail - BIM Modeling - Bid Management - Bills of Material - Budgeting/Forecasting - Change Order Management - Collaboration Tools - Contract/License Management - Contractor Management Software - Cost Database - Cost Estimating - Cost Tracking - Cost-to-Completion Tracking - Due Date Tracking - Electrical Estimating Software - Estimating - File Sharing Software ## Integrations (4 total) - Microsoft Excel - Microsoft Outlook - Primavera Unifier - RIB BuildSmart ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base Software - Phone Support - 24/7 (Live rep) - Chat ## Category - [Nonprofit Project Management Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/2875/project-management-software-for-nonprofits/software) ## Related Categories - [Nonprofit Project Management Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/2875/project-management-software-for-nonprofits/software) - [Construction Estimating Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/27/construction-estimating/software) - [Project Management Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/332/project-management/software) - [Job Costing Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/1243/job-costing/software) - [Residential Construction Estimating Software](https://www.getapp.ca/directory/1365/residential-construction-estimating/software) ## Reviews ### "Candy estimating" — 5.0/5 > **Donovan** | *February 11, 2019* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features, layout of worksheets as well as the integrated planning and quantity offtake software. > > **Cons**: Lot of features but no manual on how to use all the features > > Excellent, once established database and master can price complex items quickly and accurately ----- ### "RIB Candy - One of the best software to use for Construction cost tracking" — 4.0/5 > **Andre** | *January 12, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to understand and use, even if you are used to software such as DimensionX.
