CDE Sync™ + RIB.

Overview: 

RIB's tools, including RIB 4.0 and iTWO, are widely used for BIM-integrated cost planning, estimating and project control, often run alongside a separate CDE for design and document delivery. CDE Sync™ keeps the two aligned automatically, so models, documents and metadata don't need to be exported, renamed and re-uploaded by hand. Retiring a platform altogether rather than running an ongoing sync? CDE Migrate™ handles that one-off move instead, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails intact. 

Who it's for: 

Cost Managers, Estimators, Digital Engineers and Project Managers running RIB alongside another CDE. 

What CDE Sync™ does for RIB users: 

• Synchronises models, documents and metadata between RIB and every other connected CDE 

• Maps cost and metadata fields automatically against the target platform's schema 

• Preserves version history and workflow state, so nothing gets flattened or overwritten in transit 

• Logs every transfer for audit and compliance purposes 

• Pairs with CDE Migrate™ when you're moving off or onto RIB entirely rather than running an ongoing sync 

How it connects: 

CDE Sync™ connects to RIB through a dedicated service account and secure API integration, configured entirely through CDE Sync™'s no-code setup wizard. No scripting, no developer involvement, and nothing installed on your infrastructure. 

Also syncs with: 

Autodesk Forma (BIM360/ACC), Bentley ProjectWise, Microsoft SharePoint, Procore, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Asite, InEight, Trimble, Bluebeam, Egnyte, Dalux, RIB, and Azure Blob. 

Security: 

Built on Microsoft Azure and hosted in your choice of data region to meet residency and sovereignty requirements, see our Global Data Regions map. SOC 2 Type II certified, full detail on our Security & Trust Portal. Zero file persistence, your data is streamed, never stored. 

FAQs: 

Can CDE Sync™ replace manually re-uploading between RIB and our other CDE?

> Yes, that's the exact problem this integration is built for. 

How long does a RIB connection take to set up?

> Typically 15 to 30 minutes. 

Can we sync in both directions, or only one way?

> CDE Sync™ supports inbound, outbound and bi-directional syncs, configured per project. 

Does this affect our existing RIB project structure or permissions?

> No, CDE Sync™ syncs alongside your existing structure without changing user permissions in RIB. 

What if we want to migrate to RIB entirely, not just sync?

> That's CDE Migrate™, our one-off migration service. It moves everything at once, preserving version history, metadata and audit trails, rather than keeping platforms continuously synchronised. 

Does Issues Sync™ work with RIB?

> Issues Sync™ currently connects Autodesk Forma and Construction Cloud, Bentley iTwin, Asite, Oracle Aconex, 12d Synergy, Procore, Microsoft SharePoint and InEight. Talk to us about adding RIB to your Issues Sync™ configuration.
