Glodon Cubicost 5D BIM Quantity Takeoff and QuantifAI

Glodon Company Limited was founded in Beijing in 1998 and describes itself as a digital building platform service provider, with 2023 revenue of RMB 6.525 billion. It expanded into Southeast Asia through a Singapore subsidiary in 2011, a Hong Kong branch in 2013 and a Malaysia subsidiary in 2015, and also has offices in Indonesia, the Middle East, Finland, the UK and the US.

Cubicost is its 5D BIM quantity takeoff and cost platform. Through modules such as TAS, TRB, TME and TBQ, it uses 3D models to automate quantity takeoff and link quantities to cost estimates. In 2026 Glodon launched QuantifAI, an AI-powered quantity takeoff tool. The wider portfolio includes MagiCAD for MEP design and Gsite for site management. Users include quantity surveyors, contractors and MEP firms across Asia, including Coteccons, DLS and An Phong in Vietnam.

• Model-based takeoff: Automates quantity takeoff from 3D models instead of manual measurement on 2D drawings.
• 5D cost link: Connects model quantities to cost estimates for digital cost management.
• Cubicost modules: Provides the TAS, TRB, TME and TBQ modules for different quantity and bill of quantities tasks.
• QuantifAI: Applies AI to automate quantity takeoff, launched in Malaysia in 2026.
• MagiCAD: Supports MEP design and BIM modelling.
• Gsite: Offers a centralised digital platform for construction site management.

A Vietnamese general contractor can prepare tender quantities for high-rise and industrial projects directly from BIM models. A cost consultancy can produce bills of quantities for public projects that must follow the BIM roadmap. An MEP contractor can measure ducting, piping and cabling quantities for variations.

Model-based takeoff replaces manual measurement from 2D drawings, so quantity surveyors can prepare tenders faster and with more consistent quantities. An Phong Construction in Vietnam reports faster tender preparation, more accurate estimates and more contracts won with Cubicost. A regional network of offices and case studies makes adoption easier for Southeast Asian firms.

Vietnam's BIM roadmap and digital cost management agenda are pushing contractors and cost consultants towards model-based quantity takeoff, and Glodon is now discussing BIM and digital cost management with the Ministry of Construction. Across Southeast Asia, AI-assisted takeoff is emerging as a way to cope with shortages of quantity surveyors.
