Quotes
"CostX has focused our core business of cost planning and cost advice into the 21st century compared to other IT solutions in the marketplace. With CostX we can quickly analyse drawing revisions and simultaneously provide the cost impact. CostX are continually evolving the program and their maintenance program provides the necessary backbone to continuing those core business solutions for our offices nationally."Mark Mammarella, Managing Director Queensland
"Beacon Consulting was formed in 2007 and had been exposed to all other estimating and take-off software packages prior to this time. At the time we made a strategic decision to adopt CostX early based on our experience in Dubai and Ireland using BIM models for the purposes of Cost Planning and Estimating and the early promise that CostX showed in this area. Since 2007 we have nothing but praise for the Exactal team for the pace and regularity at which new versions and features have been added to the software, all of which have significantly improved both the software and our productivity. It is a fact that CostX saves us time, money and resources and is a cornerstone of our service delivery."Greg McDonald, Director
