RIB Candy
About RIB Candy
The ultimate Construction Project Management Software, Candy is unique, powerful, and dynamically focused on project control in the construction & engineering industry. Features include project Estimating, Quantity Take-off (QTO), Planning, Forecasting, Cash Flow, Valuations, Subcontract Management and Cost & Allowable.
From the initial estimate to the final certificate, Candy streamlines to the whole project management process with interconnected modules. Estimating flows from pre-tender to post-tender by exchanging data with other modules and updating on regular basis. Between the estimate and post-tender operations, Candy allows businesses to conduct valuations to gain immediate access to all information that is used to price the tender. For take-off, Candy's QTO module is able to add and extract information from 2D or 3D project models and compile bills of quantities. Additionally, Candy's planning tools allows businesses to gain an overview of all available resources and effectively plan and report on project statuses.
Through integration between both RIB CCS core products, Candy and BuildSmart, RIB CCS provides contractors with an interactive link between estimating, project control, enterprise accounting and operational costing in real time.

For us as a Civil Construction company Candy is helping us be more efficient with our time and money. To follow the process of a project with time and money is really helping us achieve our goals in a project. Doing a quick course in Candy does help a lot in understanding the program. What is also very efficient is if you priced an item once, the data is in your program and you just use the specific code to price the item. Overall I think Candy is a great Design and very effective and I will definitely recommend it to other Construction companies.
Pros
What i really enjoy about Candy is the time you save by pricing on Candy. Once your Candy is set up and running with you Master file, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3!!! Being able to load your Subcontractors on Candy and having them there is your best friend. Doing a program by using your information of your priced Bill of Quantities and being able to follow your cash flow all in one place is just brilliant and very efficient to you as Contractor, Quantity Surveyor, Site Agent and Estimator.
Cons
If you don't have a Master File to work from and you need to build your own Master file, then it can be quite a nightmare. Getting a Master file from another construction company and changing it to your standards and way of pricing and working is the easiest way to go.

Horrendous user interface. Old, convoluted software, stuck in the nineties. Costs an arm and a leg, and requires extensive training before it can be used.
