Case Study: University of Michigan achieves on-budget project delivery with RIB CostX from RIB Software

University of Michigan - Customer Case Study

The University of Michigan's AEC group required Granger Construction to provide highly accurate milestone estimates for a multi-building athletic facility and needed to reconcile these estimates with an independent consultant. They faced the challenge of a project that was 15% over budget at the design development stage. Granger Construction used RIB CostX software to meet the university's specific template requirements and manage the complex estimating process.

RIB CostX was implemented to create a custom estimate template and perform quantity take-offs from various digital models. The software served as a vital communication tool, leading to a highly efficient reconciliation process where adjustments were less than 0.1%. After a value engineering effort, RIB CostX allowed Granger to quickly confirm the project was back on budget, ultimately helping to deliver the final procurement approximately 4.0% under the project budget.
