GCC, October 9, 2025

News Summary

Nemetschek Group has formed a strategic partnership with WakeCap Technologies to accelerate digital transformation across the GCC construction sector. The collaboration combines Nemetschek’s software portfolio with WakeCap’s sensor-powered project-controls platform to pursue joint go-to-market strategies, potential integrations with platforms like Bluebeam, dTwin and GoCanvas, and knowledge exchange. WakeCap’s system, deployed across over $100 billion in regional giga-projects and tracking more than 150 million worker hours, reports major safety and productivity gains. The partnership aims to improve site safety, workforce visibility, incident response and productivity while supporting market entry and scaling across Gulf infrastructure and resource projects.

Nemetschek Group and WakeCap Technologies form partnership to speed digital change across the GCC construction market

What happened: The Nemetschek Group and WakeCap Technologies have entered a partnership to enable strategic collaboration aimed at accelerating digital transformation across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) construction ecosystem. This agreement creates a joint framework for the two companies to seek projects and initiatives across the region and to explore closer technical and commercial links.

Key details up front

WakeCap’s platform delivers real-time workforce visibility and site-wide intelligence, and WakeCap is currently deployed across more than $100B+ in giga-projects in the region. WakeCap operates the region’s most extensive workforce database, tracking over 150 million worker hours. The partnership will evaluate integration opportunities between WakeCap and Nemetschek software, with the potential integration targets including Bluebeam, dTwin, and GoCanvas.

Why this matters now

The GCC construction market is large and growing. The GCC construction market is described in the text as valued at over $120 billion annually, and recent industry tracking places total active project value and awards at high levels. In 2024 the total value of construction project contract awards in the GCC reached approximately $264.4 billion, a 6% increase from $249.4 billion the previous year. Another dataset notes broader project pipelines: According to BNC Network data, the total value of GCC construction projects was $2.42 trillion as of September 2025, with 22,853 active projects tracked. One market estimate places 2025 construction market value at $175.24 billion with further growth expected through 2030.

What each partner brings

WakeCap’s platform delivers real-time workforce visibility and site-wide intelligence and has been used to drive on-site behavioral change and measurable results. Reported performance outcomes from WakeCap’s system include: 90%+ reduction in safety violation observations; 25%+ gains in productivity; 70%+ faster incident response. WakeCap safety solutions are now mandated across Aramco, Neom, and Qiddiya, which underlines regional owner adoption.

The Nemetschek Group is one of the world’s leading software providers for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AEC/O) industry. Nemetschek claims a portfolio of leading brands and platforms that span the entire AEC/O lifecycle, and Nemetschek positions itself as delivering open, interoperable, and sustainable solutions to empower architects, engineers, contractors, and facility managers. The partnership is described as a way to combine Nemetschek’s software ecosystem with WakeCap’s sensor and workforce intelligence footprint to speed adoption among owners, contractors and regional affiliates.

Planned work and regional impact

The agreement outlines a comprehensive framework for both companies to jointly pursue business opportunities and initiatives within the GCC. The collaboration will include joint go-to-market strategies for construction and real estate stakeholders, technical evaluations for integrating WakeCap’s technologies with Nemetschek platforms, knowledge exchange, co-created thought leadership, and coordinated participation at regional industry events. WakeCap’s regional expertise and established relationships with large Middle East owners and contractors are expected to accelerate Nemetschek Arabia and its affiliates’ market entry and expansion.

The partners will also assess new synergies in infrastructure and natural resource projects as owners in those sectors increase demand for intelligent, data-driven project delivery solutions. The move is framed as strengthening longer-term commitments to digital innovation across construction and infrastructure markets in the region.

Context on technology and the market

Regional construction owners and governments are pushing large transformation programs and sustainability targets. This partnership is presented as a response to rising demand for connected project controls, improved safety performance, and data-led productivity improvements. WakeCap’s on-site sensor data and workforce tracking are designed to feed live project control workflows; Nemetschek’s tools offer design, planning, and lifecycle management software that could use that live input if integrated.

Next steps

Both organizations plan to begin joint activities in the GCC, build local go-to-market plans, evaluate technical integrations, exchange knowledge, and co-create industry content. They will monitor business development opportunities across construction, infrastructure, and natural resource projects to expand the practical use of data-driven project controls.
