Site inspections, snagging, defects and site documentation
Market position
PlanRadar, launched in Vienna in 2013, is a site documentation, inspection and defect-management app that says it has more than 200,000 users in 75+ countries. It has no Kuwait site or office; its nearest office is in Downtown Dubai, and it runs Arabic-language UAE and Saudi websites. It publishes per-user prices in USD, EUR, GBP and AUD, and subcontractors join free on every plan.

Why this matters for Kuwait trades
The Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) runs and approves government tenders and contract awards, and its classification committee sorts general contractors into four categories by financial and technical capability; Arab Times reported that Decree-Law No. 94 of 2026 amends the Public Tenders Law, taking effect three months after its late-September 2026 gazette publication. The Ministry of Finance levies 15% corporate income tax on foreign entities and on the foreign-owned share of GCC companies, with no VAT in force. The Public Authority for Manpower administers work permits under Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, each tendering body sets the share of Kuwaiti workers on its government contracts (Cabinet Resolution No. 1179 of 2023), and employer social security contributions go to PIFSS. Kuwait Municipality issues building permits and licenses engineering offices online, and the Kuwait Fire Force (formerly the Kuwait Fire Service Directorate) licenses commercial and industrial premises, requires sprinklers in all investment housing buildings and approves firefighting companies.
Kuwait construction and trades software selection is shaped by CAPT’s role in government tenders and its classification of general contractors (with rules changing under Decree-Law No. 94 of 2026, according to Arab Times), Public Authority for Manpower rules and Kuwaiti-hiring conditions on government contracts, Kuwait Fire Force licensing and sprinkler rules, online building permits from Kuwait Municipality, and the tax position: Kuwait has not introduced VAT, while foreign-owned businesses pay 15% corporate income tax and clients retain 5% of contract payments until a tax clearance certificate is shown.
