June, 2024 - RIB Software, a global leader
in software technology for the AEC industry, has further cemented
its embedded carbon credentials by partnering with 2050 Materials
for its RIB CostX software application.
Building on CostX’s position as a leader in bringing carbon
calculation front and center of the quantity surveying, estimation,
and construction process, this agreement further allows CostX users
to make informed decisions based on real-time carbon data.
“We have always strived to serve our customers with the best
technology and services to ensure project profitability and carbon
reduction targets,” said Steve Dousie, Managing Director of RIB
Software (EMEA).
“Our groundbreaking partnership with 2050 Materials is an
exciting development in our commitment to providing the framework
for quantity surveyors, estimators, and professionals to make
carbon assessments in real-time as a project develops.”
2050 Materials enables the construction industry to make
data-driven decisions at any project stage, providing the easiest
way to find and compare building materials. Its partnership with
RIB Software is a key step towards its goal of helping the
construction industry climate transition.
Said Phanos Hadjikyriakou, co-founder and CEO of 2050 Materials:
“We are pleased to enter this strategic partnership with RIB
Software to integrate 2050 Materials' carbon rate libraries into
CostX's leading cost estimation software. Quantity surveyors are
uniquely positioned to support the construction industry's climate
transition, given their expertise in cost management and data
analysis. By incorporating real-time carbon data into their
workflow, they can balance cost analysis with embodied carbon
assessments, driving sustainable practices across all project
stages.
“This collaboration will further enable CostX users to
seamlessly run carbon assessments, providing a comprehensive view
of both cost and carbon impacts. With 2050 Materials' extensive
database of digitized and structured Environmental Product
Declarations (EPD) data and default assembly information, quantity
surveyors and cost estimators will have access to accurate,
up-to-date information, ensuring informed decision-making. 2050
Materials is excited to partner with CostX in this mission to
empower industry professionals with the tools needed to contribute
to a sustainable built environment,” Hadjikyriakou concluded.
The 2024 Digital Construction Week will be the first chance for
customers to explore and discuss what this partnership will look
like and will be a great opportunity to see RIB’s wider portfolio
of products and services.
