Construction & Real Estate ERP in United Arab Emirates

What is actually different about Construction & Real Estate in United Arab Emirates

UAE contracting runs on a January–December year rather than April–March, and on 5% VAT rather than GST — both of which Rebota handles, because the fiscal calendar is resolved per company and every document carries its own currency and rate. The blocker is not tax, it is language. Arabic is written right to left and Rebota's interface has no RTL layout anywhere in the codebase. An English-operating contractor in Dubai or Abu Dhabi can run projects, procurement and measurement here today; a firm whose site staff work in Arabic cannot, and no amount of configuration changes that.

Rebota for Construction & Real Estate in United Arab Emirates

Can a construction & real estate business in United Arab Emirates use Rebota?▾

For running the business, yes: AED contracts, subcontracts and vendor bills with per-document rates; January–December financial year end to end; BOQ, measurement book, RA billing and retention. For local tax filing, no — a right-to-left arabic interface — not built, anywhere. Most businesses in this position run operations here and file through a local tool or accountant.

What currency and financial year does it use?▾

AED on a 1 January – 31 December year. Both are handled properly: the fiscal calendar is resolved per company rather than hardcoded, and each invoice, bill and purchase order carries its own exchange rate rather than being converted at a single company-wide rate.

What specifically does not work?▾

A right-to-left Arabic interface — not built, anywhere. UAE VAT return preparation and filing. Local payroll and WPS. These are stated here rather than discovered later; if one of them is central to how you operate, Rebota is the wrong choice today.
