RIB BuildSmart address the real pain points faced by building contractors, such as tight margins, high subcontractor volumes, site-to-office disconnects, and managing multiple overlapping projects in urban or vertical environments.

Why Building Contractors should choose BuildSmart?

ENHANCE COST CONTROL ON HIGH-VOLUME PROJECTS

From residential developments to commercial builds, BuildSmart empowers building contractors to manage tight budgets, track project variations in real time, and gain full visibility into labour, subcontractor, and materials costs, helping protect margins from start to finish.

UNITE OFFICE AND SITE WITH A SINGLE SYSTEM

STREAMLINE SUBCONTRACTOR AND SUPPLIER COORDINATION

BuildSmart gives building contractors a clear, unified view across multiple projects. With real-time access to cost and accounting data, it's easier to standardise reporting, track performance, and keep project teams aligned with head office.

DECIDE FASTER, BUILD SMARTER

From material price hikes to schedule slippage, quick decisions are key. BuildSmart gives building contractors instant access to project performance dashboards, variation logs, and cost-to-complete data, enabling faster, more informed decisions at every stage.

GET UP AND RUNNING FAST

Built on contracting best practices, BuildSmart ensures rapid implementation that minimises costly delays and eliminates data errors from disconnected systems, delivering reliable, accurate project control from day one.
