Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A · Listed

Autodesk's construction platform, now sold as Autodesk Forma

Autodesk moved Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) into its Autodesk Forma brand on 24 March 2026 and renamed the products, for example Forma Build, Forma Data Management, Forma Takeoff and Forma Estimate. Autodesk sells them in three quote-based bundles, Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations, which also include Navisworks Manage, BuildingConnected Pro, ProEst and Pype tools. In Doha, Thasaamah Technology says it is an Autodesk Gold Partner.

Pros

+ Model coordination, design collaboration and document management in one account
+ Bundles run from takeoff, estimating and bidding to field operations and closeout
+ User-, project- and account-based pricing options (per Autodesk)
+ Doha-based Autodesk partner (Thasaamah Technology, self-described Gold Partner)

Cons

− No public prices for the construction bundles: quote-based
− Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
− Not an accounting or invoicing tool
− BIM depth is more than simple jobs need

Qatar note

Thasaamah Technology in Doha says it is an Autodesk Gold Partner, but its partner page lists design software (Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Navisworks, AEC Collection) rather than the Forma construction bundles, so ask any Qatar seller whether it sells and supports those bundles locally. The tools suit engineering firms and contractors working with BIM models; simple jobs do not need them.

Typical Qatar pricing: Quote-based: Autodesk's construction pricing page lists three bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction, Construction Operations) with 'Get a quote' and no prices; Autodesk says it offers user-, project- and account-based pricing and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Insight CAFM

Tier A · Listed

Facilities software for labour camps and staff accommodation

Insight CAFM is a cloud facilities management system for labour camps and workforce accommodation, built by E Concept, a Dubai software company. It covers room allocation and check-ins, contracts and billing, maintenance work orders, inventory, resident services and HSE inspections. E Concept says companies in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar use it and that it manages more than 3,000 units.

Pros

+ Built for labour camp and staff accommodation operations
+ Occupancy, check-ins, contracts and billing in one system
+ Maintenance work orders with mobile job cards
+ Enterprise plan offers on-premise hosting

Cons

− Niche: accommodation FM, not construction project management
− No public prices: every plan is quote-based
− No Qatar office; the developer is in Dubai
− User caps on Standard (10) and Professional (25)

Qatar note

Relevant if your Qatar operation runs worker accommodation. E Concept names Qatar among its markets but lists no Qatar office, so ask who supports you locally; its Professional plan's VAT invoicing is not needed in Qatar, which has no VAT.

Typical Qatar pricing: Quote-based; no public prices. Insight CAFM lists Standard (up to 10 users), Professional (up to 25 users) and Enterprise (unlimited users) plans, all 'Contact for Quote', with add-on modules sold separately.
