Site task tracking, plans and documentation for construction and property teams

PlanRadar is a Vienna-based construction and property platform, founded in 2013, for site tickets and tasks on digital plans, checklists and reports, BIM models, document management and scheduling. PlanRadar says it has 200,000+ users in 75+ countries. Its Middle East office is in Dubai, and its careers page lists Cairo as a hiring location.

Pros

  • + Unlimited subcontractors and watchers on every plan
  • + Arabic-language UAE website and a Dubai regional office
  • + Pro plan adds BIM models, scheduling, approvals and API access

Cons

  • โˆ’ A field and documentation tool, not accounting or cost control
  • โˆ’ Per-user pricing in USD adds up for large site teams
  • โˆ’ Plan and BIM-model limits per user below Enterprise
  • โˆ’ No Egyptian office listed on the contact page

Egypt note

PlanRadar lists no Egyptian office on its contact page; its regional office is in Dubai, and its careers page lists Cairo as a hiring location. It has no Egyptian tax or e-invoicing role and prices are in USD, so EGP costs move with the exchange rate.

Typical Egypt pricing: Basic $32, Starter $107, Pro $159 per user per month (USD, as shown on planradar.com; Basic is limited to 1 user); Enterprise custom. Annual billing saves more than 10%, and PlanRadar bills annually in advance unless agreed otherwise. 30-day free trial.
