Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) vs Focus Softnet
Two Bahrain software options, compared side by side for Bahrain trades.
Which should you choose?
Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) and Focus Softnet are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and Bahrain-specific notes below against your trade and region.
Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)
Tier A · ListedAutodesk's construction platform, now sold under the Autodesk Forma name
Autodesk Construction Cloud became part of Autodesk Forma on 24 March 2026, and its products were renamed: Autodesk Build is now Forma Build, alongside Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff, Forma Estimate and Model Management tools such as Navisworks. Autodesk sells them in bundles for model management, preconstruction and construction operations. It suits firms whose projects already use Autodesk models.
Pros
- + Covers document control, takeoff, estimating and field work
- + Model tools such as Navisworks in the same family
- + Bundles priced by user, project or account
- + Free trials offered on Autodesk's site
Cons
- − No public prices; bundles are quote-based
- − Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides are out of date
- − No confirmed Bahrain reseller found this run
- − Overlaps a project tool you may already own
Bahrain note
Worth considering if your Bahrain projects already use Autodesk models, for example in Navisworks. Ask Autodesk for a local partner before buying, as no Bahrain reseller could be confirmed.
Focus Softnet
Tier A · ListedGulf ERP vendor with a Manama office and a real estate and construction edition
Focus Softnet sells ERP software, led by its Focus X cloud ERP, plus a real estate and construction edition with project management, cost control and property management. It has a Bahrain company, Focus Softnet Bahrain Computer Consultants WLL, with an office in Manama, and offices in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. Focus Softnet says it has been in business for 30+ years across 17+ countries.
Pros
- + Registered Bahrain company with a Manama office
- + Project cost control and property management in one ERP
- + Offices across the other GCC countries
- + Wide product range (ERP, CRM, HCM, warehouse)
Cons
- − No public prices; demo and quote only
- − Construction page lists no BOQ or progress-billing features
- − Broad ERP: expect an implementation project
- − Bahrain pages make no specific Bahrain VAT claims
Bahrain note
Focus Softnet has a Bahrain company and a Manama office (Building 1311, Road 525), so there is a local office to ask about implementation and support. Ask for a demo of the construction features you need, as the website lists only project management and cost control.
