BNC Network
Construction project-intelligence database for the GCC, Middle East and Africa
Market position
BNC Network is a project-intelligence database that says it has operated since 2004 and covers 72 countries across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia through its IBIS platform. It sells construction project profiles with status updates, values, bidder information and contacts for owners, consultants, contractors and subcontractors. BNC describes itself as privately held and based in Sharjah, UAE, and an event sponsor profile names Industry Networks as its parent.
Qatar-specific note
BNC describes its product as a database of GCC construction projects, which includes Qatar, but none of the pages readable in this check listed Qatari projects. Ask BNC for a sample of its current Qatar projects in your sector, with contacts, before paying for a subscription.

Why this matters for Qatar trades
The Ministry of Finance’s Monaqasat portal requires classification, with an audited balance sheet, before a company can take part in government tenders. The General Tax Authority administers income tax (10%), withholding tax and excise tax through its Dhareeba portal; Qatar has no VAT as of September 2026, and EY reports that the GTA will run e-invoicing under the draft law. Law No. 12 of 2024 requires employers to report vacancies and salaries to the Ministry of Labour and to fill designated jobs with Qatari nationals. The Ministry of Municipality issues building permits through an AI-based system launched in October 2025; QCS 2014 applies to all buildings under construction, according to The Peninsula, with Ashghal adding Interim Advice Notes on its own projects; and Kahramaa publishes lists of authorized electrical and water contractors and licenses solar PV contractors.
Qatar construction and trades software selection is shaped by Monaqasat classification for government tenders, the Qatar Construction Specifications (QCS 2014), Ashghal’s tendering and prequalification for public works, the Qatarization law (Law No. 12 of 2024), and the tax position: Qatar has not introduced VAT, and a draft e-invoicing law approved on 6 May 2026 had no official go-live date by 30 September 2026.
