As almost everything in life, Rabio is having a history behind it. Before Rabio even existed as an idea, there were many years of experience<\/a> on software projects using the cost breakdown structure<\/a> (CBS<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beginning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started more than 20 years ago while working on software projects powered by Oracle<\/a> databases and utilities that were operated by the public sector of Greek State<\/a> especially for cost control services of Greek Financial Ministry<\/a>. The common structure behind all applications was the extended use of CBS<\/a> that was giving clean results using Cost Centers<\/a> and Cost Categories<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next came the the major project of Maliakos Kleidi Construction Joint Venture<\/a> for the construction of the Aegean Motorways<\/a> highway in central Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aegean Motorway SA<\/a> manages the section of PATHE Motorway<\/a> from Raches, Fthiotida Prefecture (Km 242+079) to Kleidi, Imathia Prefecture (Km 471+470), of a total of 229.40 km and the section of the Old National Road from Evangelismos I\/C to Leptokarya I\/C, of a total of 34.30 km<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The new working environment on Olympia JV<\/a>, a Joint Venture of Hochtief AG<\/a> and AKTOR<\/a>, gave new opportunities in software development with extended use of CBS<\/a> in almost everything as a necessity of the cost control<\/a> operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experienced cost control management<\/a> of Olympia JV was always working on cost control procedures using CBS in order to keep accurate control on budget, earned value<\/a>, projection, forecast in a very complicated project with many aspects and a variety of construction cost challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the construction of the project a new software system was developed to cover the needs of Olympia JV<\/a> and also was installed in various other projects. That system was named CostTools.eu<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n

\"CostTools.eu<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

CostTools.eu<\/a> was developed to cover a wide range of Cost Control Reporting<\/a> in Construction Projects<\/a>. Using a powerful database backend it was created for direct use on cost control departments<\/a> of construction projects. Using extended CBS<\/a> can easily be integrated on construction projects covering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
