Case Study: Rawlinsons achieves cost-efficient cathedral reinstatement with RIB CostX

Rawlinsons - Customer Case Study

Rawlinsons, a cost consultancy, faced the challenge of managing the complex and cost-sensitive NZD$150 million reinstatement of the earthquake-damaged Christ Church Cathedral. The project involved significant complexities in construction planning, engineering design, and heritage considerations, requiring a highly efficient and accurate approach to cost estimation and reporting. To meet this challenge, they utilized RIB Software's CostX product.

RIB CostX provided the solution by allowing Rawlinsons to import detailed digital models of the cathedral, from which they could efficiently extract quantities for estimates. This process greatly improved efficiency, reduced errors, and increased flexibility. The software's ability to handle complex geometry and support detailed rate build-ups was invaluable, enabling Rawlinsons to provide the client with regular, accurate cost updates and value engineering advice, which were critical for informed decision-making on the charitable project.
