From the first BOQ line to the final handover certificate - one connected system, five modular products, zero Excel dependency.
Built for FIDIC contracts | UAE / KSA / Qatar / Oman VAT-aware | Community and Enterprise
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.
Five modules. Install what you need.
Every add-on hangs off the core. Start with the foundation and add capabilities as your team is ready for them.
Construction & BOQ Suite
The commercial backbone
Project, site, and unit hierarchy. Priced Bills of Quantities with sections and line items. First-principles rate buildup by trade. Master Rate Library. Progress measurement. FIDIC bilingual IPC certificates. Variation Orders with EOT tracking. BOQ-driven Site Material Requisitions.
- Bilingual Arabic and English on every printable document
- VAT-aware for UAE, KSA, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait

Construction Site Mobile
The site engineer's pocket companion
Daily site diary with weather, manpower, plant, deliveries, and visitors. Geotagged photos with auto-GPS timestamp. Snag list with severity workflow. RFI register with cost and time impact flags. Toolbox talks with on-screen attendee signatures.
- Mobile-first shell at /site - works offline
- Photos auto-tagged with GPS coordinates and timestamp
- Snag workflow: Open, In Progress, Ready for Check, Closed
Takeoff Canvas
Stop measuring drawings with a scale ruler
Upload PDF or DWG drawings. Measure on screen: length, area, volume with thickness, count, and perimeter. Live-link every measurement to a BOQ line so revisions flow through automatically.
- 5 measurement types on any uploaded drawing
- One-click sync of takeoff quantity to BOQ line
- Sheet revision chain with full supersede tracking
Owner & Subcontractor Portal
Everyone outside the office sees what they need
Owners get a live progress dashboard, one-click IPC and Variation Order approval, and a photo timeline of their unit. Subcontractors see their assigned BOQ scope, contract value, and progress.
- Owner portal at /my/construction
- Subcontractor portal at /my/subcontract
- One-tap IPC and Variation Order approval
Construction AI
An LLM in the workflows that eat the most hours
Rate suggestion from historical projects. FIDIC-compliant correspondence drafter for Variation Notices, EOT claims, and cost submissions. Nightly cron detects consumption anomalies. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or local Ollama key.
- Provider-agnostic - your API key, your control
- Fully on-premise option via Ollama
- Every AI call logged with a full audit trail
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
