The Problem

Why residential construction is still stuck in Excel and WhatsApp

The typical GCC residential developer runs their AED 20 million villa compound out of a shared drive full of Excel BOQs, a WhatsApp group for the site engineers, a folder of PDFs for IPCs waiting to be signed, and an accountant who re-types everything into their accounting system at month end.

Nothing is linked. Quantities do not flow. Approvals sit in inboxes. Owners phone the sales office asking when their villa will be ready and the answer is a guess. The consultant issues revision 3 drawings and half the BOQ needs re-measuring by hand.

This suite replaces every one of those touch-points with one connected workflow, natively inside Odoo, tuned for GCC residential from day one.

What Is in the Suite

Three modules. One connected workflow.

The core carries the whole job from tender to handover. Add the portal when clients and subcontractors should work online, and the AI assistant when you want drawings counted, rates suggested and letters drafted for you.

The Core

Construction & BOQ Suite

Estimate, build, bill and hand over in one system

Construction dashboard with portfolio value, progress and pending approvals

Self-Service

Owner & Subcontractor Portal

Clients sign online, subcontractors submit their own measurements

Client approving a payment certificate with a drawn e-signature

Clients follow live physical, financial and planned progress by BOQ section, review Interim Payment Certificates and variation orders, and approve them with a drawn e-signature that prints on the PDF. Subcontractors see their scope at the agreed subcontract rates, their measurement books and certificates, and submit measurements for checking.

  • Owner portal at /my/construction
  • E-signature stored and printed on the IPC and VO PDF
  • Subcontractors see agreed rates, never the client rates
AI Add-on

Construction AI Assistant

Counts drawings, suggests rates, drafts contract letters

AI takeoff counts per symbol and page

AI takeoff counts doors, windows, outlets and fixtures on your drawing sheets and turns reviewed counts into takeoff measurements. Unit rates suggested from your own past projects, proposed as a rate-only variation when the BOQ is locked. Variation notices and claims drafted with the clauses of your project contract. Consumption alerts when requisitions outrun progress.

  • OpenAI, Anthropic Claude or a local Ollama model
  • Fully on-premise option: nothing leaves your server
  • Every prompt and answer logged for audit

Real Scenarios

How teams use it on day one

Three real moments in a residential project - and how the suite turns each one into a five-minute task instead of a three-hour scramble.

06:30 AM - Villa-01 site, Dubai

Site engineer with a phone in one hand

Morning on site

The engineer opens the /site app on their phone. Records a toolbox talk on scaffold safety with 8 attendee names. Captures 12 geotagged photos of the slab pour. Notices honeycombing on a column - raises a snag with severity Major, assigns it to the concrete subcontractor, due in 3 days, two photos attached. At 18:00 submits the daily diary: weather clear, 81 workers on site, 2 material deliveries. The project manager approves from the office in 30 seconds.

Site app on a phone with diary, snags, RFIs and photos
Month 1 close - QS desk

Quantity surveyor preparing the first payment certificate

First IPC, done properly

The QS opens BOQ line A.03 (RC C30 in foundations) and reviews the 8-line rate buildup: cement, aggregate, sand, steel, labour, plant, overhead, profit. Rate rolls up correctly. Creates IPC No. 1 for the period. One click loads progress measurements and every submitted measurement flows in. Retention 5%, advance recovery 10%, UAE VAT 5%, net payable computed. Prints the bilingual certificate in FIDIC Red Book format. One more click and a draft invoice sits in accounting waiting for the finance team.

Mid-project - the developer's phone

Owner requested a kitchen upgrade across all 5 villas

Variation approved in two minutes

The developer opens /my/construction on their phone. Sees live progress: 22% physical, 4% financial. Spots Variation Order VO/2026/00001 waiting for approval: Italian lacquered cabinetry, quartz counters, breakfast bar across 5 villas. Reads the 3 scope lines, sees the total value, sees the 21-day EOT claim attached. Taps Approve. Done. The QS is notified immediately, the BOQ baseline is updated, and the extra scope flows into the next IPC automatically.

Who It Is For

Built for three profiles

Residential Developers

You buy land, design villas or towers, hire contractors, and sell or rent the units. You need visibility on progress, a clean audit trail for IPC and VO approvals, and a professional portal for your owners.

General Contractors

You bid on tenders, sign FIDIC contracts, and build. Your QS team lives in BOQs, rate buildups, IPCs, and Variation Orders. Your site engineers need to stop drowning in paper diaries.

Subcontractors

You get assigned a slice of the BOQ - concrete, MEP, finishes, landscaping. You need to see your scope, track your progress, and know when the next payment is coming.

Why This Suite

Not just another construction module

The Odoo App Store has dozens of construction modules. None ship all of this together, in one connected workflow, tuned for the GCC market.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does the full suite cost?

The core module, Construction and BOQ Suite, is $399. The Owner and Subcontractor Portal adds $99 and the Construction AI Assistant adds $149. All three together come to $647. This is a one time license fee, not a subscription. There is no per user charge and no annual renewal.

Do I need all three modules?
No. Only the Construction & BOQ Suite (the core) is mandatory, and it already includes site operations, takeoff, quality, safety, contract administration and job costing. Add the portal when your clients or subcontractors should work online, and the AI assistant when you want drawing counts, rate suggestions and drafted letters.
Does it work with vanilla Odoo?
Yes. The suite is tested against vanilla Odoo Community and Enterprise. If you have heavy third-party customisations to Project, Purchase, Inventory or Expenses, contact us before purchasing so we can scope any integration work.
Is Arabic support actually built in, or just a flag?
It is genuinely built in. Every printable document - BOQ, IPC, Variation Order - is a bilingual side-by-side Arabic and English layout. Every BOQ line item has both English and Arabic description fields. RTL rendering works out of the box with no theme modification needed.
Does the AI module send my data to OpenAI?
Only if you choose OpenAI or Anthropic. The AI module also works with Ollama on your own server, where nothing leaves it. With a cloud provider, each request sends only what that task needs: the BOQ item and similar items from your past projects for a rate suggestion, the variation details and contract clauses for a letter, or the selected drawing pages for a takeoff. Your database is never sent as a whole, and every request and answer is logged.
Do I need to sign up for anything to use the AI features?
Yes - bring your own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic, or run Ollama on your own server. We do not resell API access. This keeps your data under your control and your costs predictable.
Can I use this for infrastructure or hospital projects?
The suite is optimised for GCC residential - villa compounds, apartment towers, mixed-use. It works technically for infrastructure but you will miss features like Primavera P6 sync that specialised infrastructure tools provide. If you are mostly doing residential with some light infrastructure, it will still cover the majority of your workflow.
Which contract forms are supported?
Contract administration is built around FIDIC. The clause library covers the Red Book 1999, the Red Book 2017 and the Yellow Book 2017, and each clause's notice period drives the time-bar reminders on delay claims. Other forms, such as JCT or your own bespoke contract, are set up as a bespoke contract with your own clauses and notice periods. Interim payment certificates print in one bilingual English and Arabic layout that covers measured, milestone and cost plus contracts.
Can I take quantities off my drawings?
Each drawing sheet holds the drawing (PDF or image), its revision and the units it applies to. You record measurements against the sheet as length, area, volume or count, each linked to a BOQ item, with a multiplier for repeated villas. One click pushes the totals to the BOQ quantities while the BOQ is still a draft. With the Construction AI Assistant, the AI counts doors, windows and fixtures on the drawing for you, and you check and correct the counts before they become measurements. When the architect issues a new revision, you supersede the old sheet and the history is kept.
Can subcontractors submit their own progress claims?
Yes. In the portal, subcontractors see their scope at the agreed subcontract rates and submit measurement books for checking. The main contractor's QS checks and certifies each measurement, and payment is blocked while major snags on their work stay open.
We already use a construction tool. Can we migrate?
Yes. We offer a structured migration service. Contact us with a description of your current setup - what tool, how many projects, how much historical data - and we will scope the switch including a data migration plan.
