Use our data to power better outcomes for your projects
RLB Nexus isn’t just a tool – it’s a shift in how we capture knowledge, share and improve our analytics and advice to our clients. The better our data, the stronger our decision-making, allowing us to provide market-leading intelligence for our clients.
Peter Tulla Global Board Chair, RLB
At RLB we harness world-class data sets and innovative digital tools to give clients the insights and information they need to make smarter decisions and optimise performance.
Our latest initiative is RLB Nexus, a global cost benchmarking solution we built in-house to deliver quality, consistent data, at speed, to enhance the advice and solutions our teams deliver.
By consolidating multiple data sets across sectors and regions worldwide, RLB Nexus enables our people to ground recommendations in real evidence, and with the agility clients expect in dynamic markets.
Analysed and validated cost information
RLB Nexus gives us the capability to benchmark metrics on comparable projects rapidly, filter outliers responsibly, calibrate for base date, location and currency, and validate cost estimates against proven data.
This depth of analysis translates into stronger business cases, increased cost certainty and more dependable budgets, and earlier insight on where value can be created or protected – from scope and specification choices to a complete procurement strategy.
RLB Nexus is continually updated and its outputs appear in our proposals, reports and presentations. It protects confidential project data and ensures that all information is distilled and interpreted by experienced practitioners before it reaches our clients.
