### Pros

"Overall, it is a highly capable, industry-specific tool that takes the guesswork out of construction cost management. Once the initial setup is complete, it greatly streamlines financial workflows, purchase order approvals, and cost tracking across multiple projects."

"RIB Buildsmart is a must have in the South African construction industry, it ensures accuracy and uniformity, which increases control over the construction project and period."

"CANDY with RIB BUILDSMART is very much helpful from estimating planning, cost control and project progress monitoring etc."

### Cons

"Multiple users can work on the same item and this sometimes causes delay."

"One major factor that could influence the South African market, would be the implementation of CostX, but due to the agreement made 25+ years ago, I do not think CostX will have a foothold in South Africa, with other software's claiming the limelight"

"There is way, way, way too many options that has to be chosen for users, roles, settings, processing, etc."
