Honest comparison of three main Italian quantity surveying tools: PriMus NEXT, STR Vision CPM, Edilius. Pricing, pros/cons, which tool for which company size and type.
PriMus vs STR Vision vs Edilius: Which Quantity Surveying Software for Italy in 2026?
Three software platforms dominate Italian quantity surveying (computo metrico): PriMus NEXT by ACCA Software, STR Vision CPM by STR srl, and Edilius/Edificius by ACCA. Here's an honest comparison based on real-world usage, not marketing materials.
PriMus NEXT: The Market Leader
ACCA Software's flagship is the most complete platform for the full works accounting cycle: estimate → SAL progress payments → final account. Strengths: deepest compliance with Italian public procurement formats (XML, XBRL, SINTEL), native integration with ACCA's BIM ecosystem (Edificius), largest user community and support resources. Weaknesses: aging interface, steepest learning curve, highest price. Best for: public works professionals, companies needing full site accounting, RUP offices.
STR Vision CPM: Best for Usability
STR srl's platform from Reggio Emilia offers a significantly more modern interface with faster onboarding. Particularly strong for MEP/specialty works cost planning and flexible price analysis structures. Weaker on native BIM integration. Best for: technical firms prioritizing ease of use, professionals focused on MEP and specialty works. Price range: €400-1,500/year depending on modules.
Edilius/Edificius: BIM-Native Quantity Surveying
The logic is reversed: start from the architectural BIM model, quantities emerge automatically from the design. Changes to the project automatically update the bill of quantities. Ideal for architects and designers working primarily on private projects. Not suitable for post-contract site accounting.
Market Direction
New cloud-based entrants (Buildxact, CostX) and AI-powered takeoff tools are entering the market, though Italian regional price list (prezziario) coverage remains limited. The trend is clear: manual line-by-line quantity surveying is giving way to automatic BIM-based extraction. Firms investing in BIM-integrated workflows today will have a significant competitive advantage within 3-5 years.
