First Bit ERP
Construction ERP: estimating, cost control & accounting
Market position
A UAE-focused construction ERP (Dubai support team) — estimation, cost control, retention and accounting, FTA-approved for VAT since 2017 and now handling corporate tax.
United Arab Emirates-specific note
The best "one local differentiator" pick in the UAE: a construction ERP already built around FTA VAT and Arabic, rather than a US tool bolted onto separate invoicing.
Pros
- + Purpose-built for construction (BOQ, costing)
- + Arabic + local tax handling
- + Regional support team
Cons
- − Quote-based pricing
- − ERP implementation takes time
- − Best for established contractors
Typical United Arab Emirates pricing
Quote-based (cloud + on-prem).
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.
