Two Qatar software options, compared side by side for Qatar trades.
Which should you choose?
Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud) and PACT ERP 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 Qatar-specific notes below against your trade and region.
Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)
Tier A ยท ListedAutodesk'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
- โ No public prices for the construction bundles: quote-based
- โ Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
- โ Not an accounting or invoicing tool
- โ 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.
PACT ERP
Tier A ยท ListedModular ERP with contracting, procurement and payroll
PACT Software Services, headquartered in Hyderabad, India, says it has provided ERP since 1998 and has more than 12,000 customers worldwide. It sells a modular ERP covering finance, procurement, inventory, projects, CRM and HR and payroll, with a construction and contracting solution for scheduling, procurement and cost control. PACT lists Qatar among its offices and gives a Doha phone number.
Pros
- + Project scheduling, procurement and cost control for contractors
- + HR and payroll in the same suite
- + Doha contact number plus offices in the UAE and Saudi Arabia
Cons
- โ No public prices: quote only
- โ Construction page does not detail BOQ, estimation, retention or progress billing
- โ No Qatar street address published
- โ ERP setup effort
Qatar note
PACT lists a Doha contact (+974 number) but no Qatar street address, and its Qatar site link points to its global website. Ask for a demo of BOQ, subcontractor, retention and progress-billing features, which its construction page does not detail, and confirm who supports you in Qatar.
