Autodesk Forma (formerly Autodesk Construction Cloud)

Tier A ยท 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

  • โˆ’ No public prices for the construction bundles: quote-based
  • โˆ’ Product names changed in March 2026, so older guides use ACC names
  • โˆ’ Not an accounting or invoicing tool
  • โˆ’ 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.

PACT ERP

Tier A ยท Listed

Modular 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

  • โˆ’ No public prices: quote only
  • โˆ’ Construction page does not detail BOQ, estimation, retention or progress billing
  • โˆ’ No Qatar street address published
  • โˆ’ 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.

Typical Qatar pricing: Quote-based; no public prices.
