Read. Count. Measure. Price. Done. ✅
Drop in your drawings and SupplyLoop counts the doors and windows, measures every room to scale, traces the walls and turns it into a priced BOQ in minutes.
DM us “drawings” and we’ll show you a demo.

Today we're launching @SupplyloopAI
The AI operating system for construction. From the first drawing to the last snag.
Drop in your drawings, run Auto Takeoff, get a priced BOQ on real supplier rates. Then buy materials and track progress, all in one place.
Demo 👇
Showroom first, local production of doors and windows later.
That's how a materials brand tests a new market before it commits to a factory.
For contractors the real win comes in phase two: shorter lead times and fewer import delays.
Quotes valid for 30 days.
Tenders that take longer than that to award.
That gap is where margins go to die.
5 ways GCC QS and estimating teams are protecting their rates right now 🧵
3. Flag long lead items on day one.
Transformers, lifts, escalators and generators often run past 12 weeks (Turner & Townsend). Get dated quotes early and put the lead time in your qualifications.
Who is still awarding work in Dubai?
2025: state-backed clients were 49% of contract awards.
2026 so far: almost two thirds ($22.4bn of $34.6bn).
Monthly residential awards: $3bn in Feb. $306m in Aug.
If your pipeline is all private residential, look again.
Seeing the same?
Myth: the Gulf construction boom is over.
Reality:
GCC awards fell 37% in Q3.
But the first 9 months are still up 2.5% at $204bn.
And $2.05 trillion of projects is still waiting to be awarded.
The work didn't stop. It got pickier.
Agree or disagree?
Most suppliers hear about a job after the estimate's done and the rates are set.
On SupplyLoop, UAE contractors price each BOQ line against live supplier offers and send one bulk RFQ.
List your products and you're in the room.

UAE material prices since January:
Cement +16%
Concrete +10%
Rebar +8%
Meanwhile, UAE construction contract awards fell 67% year on year in Q3.
Fewer new jobs, dearer inputs. Every rate in a BOQ has to work harder this year.

Ground plus 50 on Sheikh Zayed Road with 1,000+ parking and a full conversion of an existing hotel. The design is the easy part. Enabling works, facade and vertical transport lead times will decide the handover date.
@ahs_properties is set to launch the $1.3bn AHS Twin Towers on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road, transforming Shangri-La Dubai into a Grade A commercial destination following its $300 million (AED 1.1 billion) acquisition.
Designed by @gensler_design, with interiors by the developer’s in-house studio AHS Atelier, the ground-floor-plus-50 development will offer flexible Grade A offices.
Plans include more than 30,000 sq ft of wellness and fitness space, over 12,000 sq ft of culinary experiences and more than 1,000 parking spaces. Amenities will include elevated dining, a private wellness sanctuary with a dedicated lap pool, executive business lounges and a landscaped rooftop sky garden.
Abbas Sajwani (@Abbas_H_Sajwani), Founder and CEO of @ahs_properties, said: “Location will always remain fundamental, but today there is a much greater focus on design, amenities and the overall experience a building can offer.”
He added: “Our aim is to create a workplace that reflects how companies and their teams want to work today, and to set a new standard for the commercial assets Dubai’s next phase of growth will demand.”
The project follows AHS Tower, the company’s first Grade A commercial development, which sold out for more than $700 million during development.

Cheapest per watt on paper.
The number that decides delivery in the Gulf is how early the electrical and cooling packages get locked in.
That's where data centre programmes are won or lost.
The Middle East has been identified as the world’s most cost-competitive region for data centre construction, with average costs of $9.93 per watt, according to Turner & Townsend’s latest Data Centre Construction Cost Index.
The UAE ranked among the five lowest-cost markets globally, at $9.20 per watt, followed by Qatar at $9.80 and Saudi Arabia at $10.80. The report highlights the region’s competitive construction costs and government-backed AI investments as key advantages in supporting the expansion of digital infrastructure.

UAE estimators, quick one.
Some steel quotes are now locked for only about 30 days, and fluctuation clauses are showing up on longer jobs.
How are you protecting your rates?
1. Fluctuation clause
2. Shorter validity on your offer
3. Price the risk in
4. Something else

construction might be the hardest test for this. so much of a contractor's back office is people copying numbers from drawings into excel. that's the agent we're building at @SupplyloopAI.
Saudi gigaproject awards:
2023: ~$34bn
2024: ~$27bn
2025: $14.3bn
1H 2026: $4.5bn
The money didn't vanish. It moved.
Expo 2030, World Cup 2034 and rail are where the bids are now.
Where is your team bidding in 2027?

We built SupplyLoop for that exact headache.
