Candy Software Reviews

“RIB Candy Review

Pros

I love how all construction management disciplines are completely integrated.

Cons

The layout of the Cash Flow module is not great. It should be redesigned to resemble a management report more closely.

“Best experience with Candy

Pros

I appreciate the project planning and evaluations because I can easily plan my projects.

Cons

I'm not very advanced with it; I'm still learning, so there's nothing I dislike yet.

“RIB Candy Review - J Theron

Pros

Detailed estimates with a comprehensive rate build-up structure in Candy provide instant reports and QTO.

Cons

I can't import sub-contract claims; I have to input quantities manually.

“CCS Candy Review

Pros

It simplifies my life when pricing and managing a project going forward.

Cons

It's tough to master for newcomers, especially if Candy is not installed correctly.

“FMs review

Pros

The masters make estimation fast and easy for me.

Cons

The lack of an undo feature makes it hard to correct mistakes. Duplicating jobs helps, but I don't always remember to do it in the middle of work.

“20 years later and .....

Pros

It's simple to use, easy to link and back up files, and offers good reporting.

Cons

There's no spellcheck. I wish there was an option to set up a default report to print after an estimate, instead of printing each one individually.

“RIB Candy Software - Top Class!

Pros

RIB Candy is practically an all-in-one Project Management Software, letting me manage both costs and schedules in one place, which is great for accurate forecasts and projections.

Cons

Most of our clients use Excel, which isn't an issue with Candy. However, due to Candy's decimalization, there are often slight differences between the client's Excel sheets and our Candy data.

It offers uniform resources for the group, common cost codes, and integrates seamlessly with BuildSmart, allowing me to manage the job with one type of software.

Cons

I can't work on two jobs simultaneously.

The absence of an undo button and the lack of 3D measurements on QTO are drawbacks.

I wish I could create custom columns like planned percentage to track project progress.

“Candy Software review June 2024

Estimating and valuations are good, but there are some things that could be added and adjusted to increase its value.

Cons

Updating measurements between combined users, from QTO to CCS, needs improvement.

Pros

As a beginner, I believe that once I fully understand how to use Candy, it will be easier to do estimates faster and more efficiently with greater accuracy.

The material adjudicator requires temporary pricing for line items to bring usage into the adjudicator. Risk on resource allocation can't be applied to individual trades but only to trade types.

The arrangement of pages and the insertion of new pages could be better.

The Subcontract Adjudicator should be richer and more flexible, allowing linking and focusing more on preparing BOQ and the top sheet.

RIB Candy effective in estimating subcontractor resources, managing cost codes, conducting detailed cost analysis, and generating comprehensive reports. It provides robust tools for evaluating and tracking these aspects, ensuring thorough and precise project management.

“NAVEEN KUMAR REVIEW

Pros

Resource analysis, indirect costing, and reporting are its key features.
