Contracting company software for the UAE

Short answer

Software for UAE contracting companies prices work in AED with 5% VAT, rates against a client bill of quantities, issues interim payment applications with advance recovery and retention, manages subcontractor packages and variation orders, and tracks cost against value per project. WinkScope does this for small and mid-size contracting LLCs without an enterprise ERP implementation.

AED pricing, 5% VAT, BOQ-based tendering, advance payment guarantees and retention released at handover and again after the DLP. Running that on spreadsheets works until you have four projects at once.

AED and 5% VAT

Every document prices in dirhams with VAT summarised, matching what the client's finance team expects to receive.

Tender to final account

The tendered BOQ becomes the budget, the applications and the final account, all from one set of rates.

Retention and DLP

Retention held on each application with the handover release and end-of-DLP release tracked separately.

Subcontractor control

Award packages, certify their applications and see the margin between what you awarded and what you priced.

Multiple projects at once

A portfolio view of value, certified, cost and margin across every live project.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle Emirates-specific VAT invoicing?

Invoices carry the VAT registration number, 5% VAT summary and the required commercial details. Confirm e-invoicing requirements with your tax adviser as the regime develops.

Can it manage advance payment recovery?

Yes, recovered proportionally across interim applications with the outstanding balance visible.

Is it suitable for MEP and fit-out contractors?

Yes — both are common users, since BOQ rating, variations and subcontractor packages are the core of that work.

Can we price in AED but pay in USD?

Yes. Job pricing follows your company currency; the WinkScope subscription is billed in USD worldwide.
