Strategic alliance to advance smart construction, wearable technology, and AI-driven project management across the Gulf region.
Nemetschek Group, a global leader in AEC/O (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations) software solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with WakeCap Technologies, the Middle East’s leading construction technology and IoT company specializing in sensor-powered, real-time project control systems. This collaboration is set to accelerate digital transformation, data-driven decision-making, and operational efficiency across the GCC construction sector.
Combining Nemetschek’s world-class software platforms with WakeCap’s AI-powered, sensor-based workforce management and safety technology, the partnership will redefine how mega infrastructure projects are designed, managed, and executed in the region.
WakeCap currently operates across $100 billion+ giga-projects, monitoring over 150 million worker hours and managing one of the largest real-time construction data ecosystems in the Middle East. The platform has already achieved over 90% reduction in safety violations, 25% increase in productivity, and 70% faster incident response times, setting a new benchmark for smart construction technologies. WakeCap’s safety systems are already mandated by industry giants such as Aramco, NEOM, and Qiddiya.
Transforming GCC Construction Through Digital Collaboration
Under the agreement, both companies will pursue joint go-to-market initiatives to promote digital construction, real estate innovation, and smart infrastructure solutions across the Gulf region. WakeCap’s regional expertise and partnerships with the Middle East’s largest contractors will support Nemetschek Arabia’s market expansion, enabling localized implementation of leading solutions such as Bluebeam, dTwin, and GoCanvas.
The collaboration also includes the co-development of thought leadership content, whitepapers, and participation in regional construction technology events, strengthening the ecosystem’s understanding of AI, IoT, and automation in construction. Additionally, both organizations will explore opportunities in infrastructure and natural resource management, where demand for data-driven project delivery continues to rise.
“WakeCap is a frontrunner in global construction technology. By combining Nemetschek’s software innovation with WakeCap’s real-time data and regional strength, we’re unlocking new possibilities for digital construction excellence across the GCC,” said Marc Nezet, Group Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Division Officer at Nemetschek Group.
Muayad Simbawa, Managing Director of Nemetschek Arabia, added, “This partnership aligns perfectly with the Gulf region’s smart city and sustainability goals, empowering contractors to deliver connected, intelligent, and efficient project models that meet Vision 2030 objectives.”
“This collaboration validates our mission to redefine construction with real-time intelligence. Together with Nemetschek, we’re shaping the future of construction technology—creating a global benchmark for autonomous, data-driven project delivery that starts here in the GCC ” said Dr. Hassan Albalawi, CEO and Founder of WakeCap.
This partnership underscores the Nemetschek Group’s long-term commitment to advancing digital innovation, sustainability, and open collaboration across the global construction and infrastructure technology landscape. Through interoperable and intelligent platforms, Nemetschek continues to empower architects, engineers, and builders worldwide to construct smarter, safer, and more resilient environments.
