Nemetschek and WakeCap collaborate to advance construction technology in the GCC
The GCC construction market represents the ideal proving ground for these advanced technologies, the company said
The Nemetschek Group has forged a strategic partnership with WakeCap Technologies to accelerate digital transformation across the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) construction ecosystem.
Nemetschek’s portfolio of software solutions is said to complement WakeCap’s sensor-powered project control platform. WakeCap’s platform is said to be deployed across US $100bn in giga-projects, utilising the region’s workforce database that tracks over 150m worker hours. The GCC construction market, valued at over $120bn annually with several trillion-dollar national transformation programs underway, represents the ideal proving ground for these advanced technologies, said a statement.
This scale sets WakeCap apart as the only platform operating at this level in the Middle East. WakeCap’s safety solutions have delivered transformative results, driving behavioral change on construction sites and achieving notable reductions in safety violations, increased productivity, and faster incident response. WakeCap safety solutions are now mandated across Aramco, Neom, and Qiddiya, it added.
Marc Nezet, Group Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Division Officer of the Nemetschek Group said, “WakeCap is one of the most innovative front-runners in the global construction tech landscape. Their ability to deliver real-time visibility and actionable insights at scale is reshaping how major infrastructure projects are built and managed. By combining Nemetschek’s world-class software capabilities with WakeCap’s cutting-edge solutions and regional strength, we are excited to unlock transformative outcomes for the GCC’s construction sector.”
Muayad Simbawa, Managing Director of Nemetschek Arabia added, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to accelerate digital innovation in construction across the Gulf region. Together with WakeCap, we aim to deliver more connected, intelligent, and efficient project delivery models that align with the region’s national development agendas and sustainability goals.”
“This partnership validates our vision of transforming construction through real-time intelligence,” stated Dr. Hassan Albalawi, CEO and Founder of WakeCap. “We’ve proven our technology can fundamentally change how giga-projects are delivered, reducing risk, and driving efficiency. Now, by combining our field-proven platform with Nemetschek’s global reach and software ecosystem, we’re not just expanding our market, we’re defining the future of construction technology. Our joint solutions will become the global benchmark for intelligent project delivery, starting here in the GCC where the world’s most ambitious projects are already relying on WakeCap.”
The agreement outlines a comprehensive framework for both companies to collaborate on business opportunities and initiatives within the GCC. WakeCap’s regional knowledge and established relationships with the Middle East’s owners and contractors will accelerate Nemetschek Arabia and its affiliates’ market entry and expansion, the statement noted.
This collaboration will involve the development of joint go-to-market strategies aimed at stakeholders in construction and real estate. Additionally, there’s potential for the integration of WakeCap’s technologies with Nemetschek’s software platforms, such as Bluebeam, dTwin, and GoCanvas.
In addition, the two organisations plan to collaborate on knowledge exchange and co-creating thought leadership content, including whitepapers and digital construction initiatives. They will also participate in regional industry events together. The partnership aims to explore new synergies within the infrastructure and natural resource sectors, where both parties recognise the growing demand for intelligent, data-driven project delivery solutions.
