CostOS Erfahrungen

Our overall experience with the software has been good and we are working more efficiently with this software than in the past. In the past we had to use 3 different software programs to accomplish the same work and there was a lot of wasted time spent transferring data from one software to another. Now everything is performed directly inside of CostOS. The ability to have more than one estimator working on the same estimate at the same time has also significantly improved our collaboration efforts between different office locations. Overall we are very happy with choosing CostOS and still believe it is the best estimating software program on the market.

Estimation process becoms easy and with minimum effort one can estimate a project.

CostOS helps carving the estimating processes in a company. Since these are 100% internal information that circulates between users/departments, those processes are naturally characterised by Excel/email/handwritten information.
Through it's Excel interface capabilities, you are not left with a black or white decision, but you can add existing logics to the workflow, which may now be governed through CostOS. However, adding new Excel sheets or assemblies is feasable at any given time...

Structured data, 5D estimates, consistent and reliable estimation, transparent BOQ.

The best construction estimating system I have been applying in this field, from training to going live.

We looked for a very long time for a system we could customize to meet our specific needs. Nomitech CostOS has met our expectations. The product continues to be improved making it a great fit for our company. The support team is very knowledgeable and helpful during our implementation. We are looking forward to a long-term relationship with Nomitech.

We have tried many BIM costing tools on the market and only CostOS was able to meet the demands of everyday estimating and costing, while also facilitating take-off from multiple BIM models.

Pros: There are too many to go through. Main benefits including ability to cross-code a single rate to multiple methods of measurement; excel like bottom-up estimating where required; in-built spreadsheet; links to business Primavera; has an excellent 2D take-off tool for pdf and DWG quants production; well structured databases for resource rates; multiple columns to extend pricing options; and can be used to create cost assemblies which enable automatic take-off from BIM models, matched to database rates.

Cons: With so many configuration options, you will need to spend a little time getting used to the many features so you can create a workflow that suits your needs.

The software is easy to use and easy to customize. Also it's integrated with Prism Software from Ares.

We are in the beginning phase to use the software. We are still writing assemblies, but we like the onscreen take off option.

I've been using since 2010, my business area about cost estimate and cost control in civil works (housing unit, steel construction, hospital, hotel etc.) CostOs is a versatile program and it is developing very fast.It responds to all kinds of needs. All modules is working perfectly and compatible. BIM module and Primavera is It is running without problems. I connected our ERP system with CostOs and so we are closed Cost Control and Working schedulle process circle. This software is running with Oracle and all type SQL database without problems and that reason, just use your imagination.

Having worked with CostOS for just over a year now, my enthusiasm for it has grown significantly. Although initially it may not seem the most intuitive to use, once you have grasped the concepts and a basic understanding it can become a really powerful tool.
Learning how to create complex cost models has become a rewarding experience and saved much time on the current project. I have also always been impressed with the responce team at CostOS in providing support and the on going development of the software.

CostOS guarantees the estimation process is accurate and reduces human mistakes.

Had been reviewing many software packages but none gave us hat we needed until we found CostOS. The user definable columns gave us the ability to customize the exactly what we needed. In addition the ability to seemlessly interact with Primavera P6 was a bonus. The appearance and Excel type use made use easy. Post purchase service provided by Estimating Plus was exemplorary.

Excellent software, especially when compared to its peers. Easy interaction with Excel and similar functionality too.

Assemblies feature stands it out from the crowd, combining quantity and cost production into single easily customisable objects.

Can operate at a very detailed level therefore familiarisation with the whole system takes time.
Staff very helpful in resolving any operational issues.

The software is easy to learn. Does not slow down the system and does not crash. Design of the buttons used to manage the software could be improved.
