Engineering document management for the UAE and Saudi Arabia

Contractors, consultants and owners on large Gulf projects work to formal document control: numbered registers, structured review, and transmittals with a recorded response. BuildCore Document Management does that work, and runs on servers you choose.

Document control

Register, review, transmit, respond

The same controlled record for the contractor issuing a drawing, the consultant reviewing it and the owner tracking what is outstanding.

Register and revisions

  • Document numbers from your numbering template, or project–discipline–type–sequence by default
  • Revision codes set from the purpose of issue: IFR, IFA, AFC, ASB
  • Bulk import of an existing register from CSV, with a ZIP of the files

Review workflows

  • Ordered or parallel review and approval steps, each with a due date
  • Reviewers assigned from an IDC matrix by discipline and document type
  • Markups on the revision, and a comparison of two revisions

Transmittals

  • Issued, acknowledged, responded and closed, with overdue marking and reminder emails
  • C1–C4 response codes; a not-approved response needs a resubmission date
  • External parties respond through an expiring link, with no BuildCore login

Project collaboration

  • Contractor, consultant and owner work from one register and see the same status
  • Access per project and folder, plus allow or deny on a single document, with expiry
  • An audit trail of document actions, with old and new values
Contracts

FIDIC claim clocks alongside the documents

Many Gulf projects use FIDIC-based conditions. If you add Contract Management, BuildCore tracks FIDIC claims against their time bars: 28 and 42 days under the 1999 books, 28 and 84 days under 2017. A late notice is flagged as time-barred. Every clock can be edited to match the particular conditions of your contract. BuildCore keeps the record; it does not give legal advice.

Deployment

Run it where your project data has to stay

Where an owner or regulator requires project records to stay in the country or on a particular network, BuildCore can run on infrastructure you control:

  • On-premise, on your own Windows or Linux servers, behind your firewall
  • Your own private cloud, in the region you choose

BuildCore runs on .NET 8 and SQL Server. Transmittal and reminder emails use your own mail server. How deployment and access control work →

Modules

Start with documents, add the rest when you need it

Every module is licensed on its own. You can begin with Document Management and add the modules that share its record later.
