Construction software and site AI for UAE contractors.

We build the systems a UAE construction business runs on - mobile site reporting, AI photo inspection, and approval workflows.

Abu Dhabi-based · serving construction across the UAE

THE CHALLENGE

Sound familiar?

  • Progress lives in WhatsApp photos and site engineers' spreadsheets.

  • RFIs, material submittals, and drawing approvals sit buried in email threads.

  • HSE and QA/QC still run on paper: PPE checks, permit-to-work, and snag lists.

  • Payment certificates, BOQ variations, and subcontractor claims get reconciled by hand.

WHAT WE BUILD

Systems for construction.

Site reporting & progress systems

A mobile app for daily reports and geotagged photos, rolled up into one progress-vs-programme dashboard.

AI site inspection (computer vision)

Analyse site photos and camera feeds to flag missing PPE and likely defects.

Drawing, BOQ & contract intelligence

Pull scope, quantities, and key clauses out of drawings, bills of quantities, and FIDIC-style contracts.

RFI, submittal & approval automation

Route RFIs, material approval requests, permit-to-work, and interim payment certificates to the right approver.

EXAMPLE USE CASES

What this looks like in practice.

Illustrative scenarios - not completed client projects.

  • An Abu Dhabi main contractor could give site engineers a mobile daily-report app.

  • A Dubai fit-out company could flag workers without hard hats.

  • A UAE MEP subcontractor could automate RFI and material-submittal tracking.

  • An Abu Dhabi developer could run a live snagging and handover tracker.

  • A civil contractor in the UAE could extract BOQ quantities straight from drawings.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you build construction software from scratch, or work with the tools we already use?

Both. We can build a site-reporting, QA/QC, or approvals system from scratch, or connect what you already run - accounting, ERP, or a schedule in Primavera P6 or MS Project - so you get one view without ripping anything out. We map your actual process, including the client, consultant, and contractor sign-offs, before we build.

Can AI site inspection replace our HSE officer or QA/QC engineer?

No, and we wouldn't sell it that way. Computer vision flags likely issues - missing PPE, a possible defect, progress that looks behind - and a person confirms the call. It gives your HSE and QA/QC team more coverage across the site, not a substitute for their judgement. AI-assisted, human-reviewed.

Is our project data safe - drawings, contracts, and commercial figures?

Yes. Construction data is commercially sensitive, so we build secure by default: access scoped by role for site, consultant, and client, a clear audit trail, and, where required, deployment that keeps data inside your own environment. We don't train public models on your project data.

We run several projects and subcontractors at once. Can one system handle that?

Yes. Systems are built to handle multiple sites, packages, and subcontractors together, with a portfolio roll-up for head office and scoped access for each site team. You see progress, RFIs, HSE, and cost across every project without chasing separate spreadsheets.
