Project costing & budgets
WBS-based budgets, committed vs actual costs, BOQ tracking, variation orders and cost-to-complete forecasting per project and per cost code.
Why generic ERP fails UAE construction firms
Most off-the-shelf accounting tools handle ledgers fine — and then collapse the moment a project manager asks "what's my cost-to-complete on Tower B?" or "how much retention is locked with this subcontractor?". UAE contractors carry extra weight on top of that: FTA VAT on progress claims, Arabic tax invoices, WPS payroll, free-zone vs mainland entities and the 2026 PEPPOL e-invoicing rollout. A real construction ERP solves all of it on one stack.
What's included
Subcontractor management
Subcontract registers, work orders, payment certificates, retention release, back-charges and prequalification records — all linked to the parent project.
FTA VAT & e-invoicing
5% UAE VAT on progress claims and retention, Arabic tax invoices, reverse-charge on imports and PEPPOL-ready e-invoicing for the 2026 FTA mandate.
Procurement & inventory
Material requisitions from site, RFQs, LPOs, GRNs, plant & equipment tracking and store transfers — costed straight into the project.
Progress billing & revenue
Interim payment applications (IPCs), percentage-of-completion revenue recognition and certified-value reconciliation against the client.
HR, payroll & WPS
Labour allocation to projects, timesheets, WPS-compliant payroll, gratuity, leave and Emiratisation reporting integrated with project cost.
Project costing built around the UAE BOQ
Every project starts from the bill of quantities. Budgets, commitments and actuals roll up against the same WBS, so quantity surveyors and finance look at the same number. Variation orders, day-works and back-charges all flow into cost-to-complete — and into the next interim payment certificate to the client.
Subcontractor management without spreadsheets
Each subcontract is a live record: original value, approved variations, certified work, payments made, retention held and release schedule. Payment certificates auto-generate the VAT-compliant tax invoice, the WPS payroll batch for direct labour, and the cash-flow forecast. No more reconciling three spreadsheets before every cheque run.
FTA VAT and 2026 e-invoicing — handled
5% UAE VAT applies cleanly to progress invoices, advance payments and retention release. The system issues Arabic and English tax invoices, manages reverse-charge on imported plant and exports PEPPOL-format e-invoices for the FTA's phased 2026 rollout. Audit trails are retained per the FTA's record-keeping rules.
