RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct 13, 2025 – The Nemetschek Group has partnered with WakeCap Technologies to drive digital transformation across the Gulf Cooperation Council’s (GCC) construction industry. The collaboration combines Nemetschek’s expertise in digital building solutions with WakeCap’s safety technology.
The partnership combines Nemetschek Group’s software portfolio with WakeCap’s sensor-based project control platform, which provides workforce visibility and site intelligence. WakeCap platform is used across more than $100B in construction projects in the Middle East, tracking over 150 million worker hours. The platform improves on-site behavior, operational efficiency, achieving 90%+ reduction in safety violation observations, 25%+ gains in productivity, and 70%+ faster incident response. WakeCap safety solutions are mandated across Aramco, Neom, and Qiddiya.
The agreement sets a framework for both companies to pursue joint business opportunities across the GCC. WakeCap’s expertise and connections with owners and contractors will support Nemetschek Arabia’s market entry and expansion. The partnership aims to strengthen growth through localized operations and access to key industry networks. The collaboration includes joint go-to-market plans for the construction and real estate sectors and explores integrating WakeCap’s technologies with Nemetschek software platforms such as Bluebeam, dTwin, and GoCanvas.
The two companies plan to collaborate on knowledge management, including whitepapers and digital construction initiatives, while also participating in industry events. The partnership will explore new opportunities in the infrastructure and natural resource sectors.
Commenting on the partnership, Marc Nezet, group chief strategy officer and chief division officer of the Nemetschek Group, said: “WakeCap is one of the most innovative frontrunners in the global construction tech landscape. Their ability to deliver real-time visibility and actionable insights at scale is reshaping how major infrastructure projects are built and managed. By combining Nemetschek’s world-class software capabilities with WakeCap’s cutting-edge solutions and regional strength, we are excited to unlock transformative outcomes for the GCC’s construction sector.”
Muayad Simbawa, managing director of Nemetschek Arabia commented: “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to accelerate digital innovation in construction across the Gulf region. Together with WakeCap, we aim to deliver more connected, intelligent, and efficient project delivery models that align with the region’s national development agendas and sustainability goals.”
“This partnership validates our vision of transforming construction through real-time intelligence”, stated Dr. Hassan Albalawi, CEO and founder of WakeCap. “We’ve proven our technology can fundamentally change how giga-projects are delivered, reducing risk, and driving efficiency. Now, by combining our field-proven platform with Nemetschek’s global reach and software ecosystem, we’re not just expanding our market, we’re defining the future of construction technology. Our joint solutions will become the global benchmark for intelligent project delivery, starting here in the GCC where the world’s most ambitious projects are already relying on WakeCap.
