ADNIC (Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company)
A-rated Abu Dhabi insurer for construction, engineering & liability

Why this matters for United Arab Emirates trades
Dubai Municipality (reshaped by Dubai Law No. 7 of 2025) and federal MOEI handle contractor registration/classification; VAT is 5% via the Federal Tax Authority; e-invoicing follows a decentralised Peppol model (mandatory for large taxpayers from 2027); Emiratisation (MOHRE/Nafis) governs labour; and Abu Dhabi adds the mandatory Estidama Pearl rating.
UAE construction & trades software selection is shaped by Dubai's BIM mandate, a 5% VAT (Federal Tax Authority), the upcoming Peppol e-invoicing model, Emiratisation labour quotas, a Dubai-vs-Abu-Dhabi regulatory split (Dubai Municipality contractor classification vs Abu Dhabi DMT + Estidama), and AED pricing.
