RIB Deutschland GmbH

RIB Deutschland GmbH develops software for the construction and engineering industries, covering the building lifecycle from cost estimation and bidding through planning, construction delivery and operations and maintenance. Founded in Stuttgart in 1961, the company has more than 60 years of history and now employs over 2,500 people across more than 50 locations worldwide.

Its product line includes RIB 4.0, an enterprise platform connecting people, processes and data for real-time collaboration and visibility across a building's lifecycle; RIB CostX, cost estimating and quantity takeoff software used at the first cost estimate and bid stages; and RIB Candy, construction project management software supporting planning and delivery. RIB 4.0 is used daily by architects, engineers, project managers and financial controllers.

The company's technical work spans building lifecycle management, cost estimation and bid management, project management, real-time collaboration and data integration, and sustainability, including tools aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of projects and replacing paper-heavy, fragmented workflows with digital processes.

RIB was acquired by Schneider Electric in 2020 and now sits within a group focused on energy management and sustainability. Its customers operate across construction, engineering, architecture, building operations and maintenance, and real estate development.
