Case Study: PP Construction achieves real-time cost control with RIB Software's BuildSmart

PP Construction Ltd - Customer Case Study

PP Construction Ltd, a British civil engineering and groundwork contractor, faced significant challenges with a spreadsheet-based cost management system and a generic ERP solution. These systems created data silos, manual errors, and an inability to track project profitability in real time, preventing the company from identifying financial issues before it was too late. To address this, they turned to RIB Software and its BuildSmart solution.

RIB Software implemented its integrated construction-specific cost management and accounting system, BuildSmart. The solution provided real-time data consolidation and detailed reporting, which delivered significant cost savings, improved collaboration from a single source of truth, and greater peace of mind. A company director stated it provided "the most solid figures and best reports we’ve had in 26 years," allowing them to take corrective action before funds were depleted. PP Construction now plans to further integrate with RIB's Candy software.
