We build apps that help Dubai and UAE construction teams solve engineering problems with spatial computing
- Site inspection, progress and field-data apps
- AR, VR, LiDAR and BIM apps
- For developers, contractors, BIM, EPC and PMC firms and facility managers
- From proof of concept to the App Store
What we build
Our own products are the examples. Each one solves a real engineering problem on site.
See errors before they're built. Load an IFC model on an iPhone or iPad and see it standing on the real build, with no markers and no internet. Live on construction sites in India, including a hospital.

Quantities straight from the model. A BIM-first construction ERP. Quantities from BIM and CAD files flow into a priced bill of quantities, then into scheduling, procurement, site and quality.

Built for how the UAE builds
BIM where Dubai requires it
- Since 1 April 2026, Dubai Municipality requires BIM models with the building permit
- For new buildings above G+12, or of 15,000 m² built-up area or more
- And for major changes to buildings already licensed with BIM
- Drawings must be produced from the model
- We build tools that make those models useful on site, not just at submission
Custom construction software
- Built around how your team already works
- Site inspections and progress reporting
- Field data capture and dashboards
AR for high-rise and fit-out checks
- The BIM model over the real floor, level by level
- Deviations caught before finishes close up
- On iPhone and iPad, offline
MEP and fit-out coordination
- Services, sleeves and openings checked against the model
- Issues recorded on site with photos
- Fewer surprises once ceilings and walls close

FAQ
Questions
What UAE companies ask before working with us.
Can you build a product under our own brand?
Yes. We design, build and look after an app or platform that carries your name, your logo and your app store listing, so you can sell it to your clients as your own. Ownership and terms are agreed in the proposal.
Can we buy one of your ready apps?
Yes. DeltaARBIM, DeltaTapeless and DeltaRoomCraft are available to buy or license for your company, or under your brand for your clients, with setup and support. Tell us which one and for how many users or sites, and we will send the options.
Are you open to a product partnership?
Yes. If you know the market and the customers, and we can build the product, we build it together: you bring the domain and the sales, we bring the engineering. The model is agreed per partnership, for example a revenue share, a licence or a fixed fee.
What does a partnership look like for both sides?
Whatever grows both businesses. You can resell our products in your market, refer projects to us, or build a product with us from the first proof of concept. We start small, show results, and grow the arrangement as it works for both sides.
Tell us what you're building
Three quick taps and a way to reach you. Only your name and an email or phone number are needed.
