Omnix International has announced the expansion of its portfolio with a new suite of integrated Digitised Construction Workflow offerings. These solutions are designed to revolutionise critical workflows across the construction lifecycle by digitising them. This transformation is achieved through data intelligence, automation, and intelligent systems, ultimately leading to more efficient planning, execution, and optimisation of projects, the firm said.
The strategic move to expand its portfolio in the Middle East is said to underscore its commitment to driving innovation, enhancing efficiency, and assisting clients in meeting the evolving demands of the construction industry. The Middle East is experiencing rapid urban expansion and executing significant mega projects, making the need for advanced digital solutions more pressing than ever, said a statement.
The construction sector is currently facing numerous challenges, including labor shortages, cost pressures, regulatory demands, and outdated processes. Amidst these challenges, the Middle East, with its rapid urban expansion and mega projects, has highlighted the urgent need for advanced digital solutions, it added.
According to RICS and McKinsey, the global construction industry continues to lag in digital adoption, particularly in areas such as ESG reporting, carbon tracking, and lifecycle management. Omnix's new offerings address these gaps by providing integrated tools that promote smarter planning, improved collaboration, and measurable outcomes.
Walid Gomaa, CEO of Omnix International said, 'Our mission to digitally transform construction workflows is aimed at empowering clients to build with greater confidence, efficiency, and purpose. This marks a key milestone in our journey to deliver value-driven, future-ready solutions. Our focus on regional priorities, data interoperability, and intelligent insights will help clients reduce risk, enhance sustainability, and achieve stronger business outcomes across project lifecycles.'
Alaf Abdul Latheef, Regional Business Unit Head added, 'Our offerings are built to address regional challenges with a flexible and modular framework. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies and architectural expertise, we have designed a solution that adapts to our clients' realities enhancing compliance, visibility, and collaboration without requiring a complete overhaul of existing systems.'
The newly launched Digitised Construction Workflows offer centralised tendering and bid management, real time cost control and scheduling dashboards, Digital twin integration, field safety and compliance monitoring, built-in ESG and carbon analytics, AI-enhanced document and RFI management, and mobile-enabled tools for site access and task tracking, the company outlined.
At the heart of the solution lies Omnix's 'interoperability first approach'. This approach is said to feature a connected layer that allows clients to retain their preferred tools while enhancing visibility, regional customisation, and cross-platform data flow. Omnix's approach prioritises plug-and-play compatibility with existing software, custom integrations that bridge data between design, construction, and operations phases, and strengthened with AI enabled data insights.
Early implementations are already underway, with broader rollouts scheduled for 2025 and 2026. This phased approach enables Omnix to refine its solutions based on real-world feedback and ensure alignment with regional workflows and compliance standards, the company confirmed.
Omnix's strength in the construction sector is rooted in a multidisciplinary team with expertise in BIM, project management, AI, digital twin technologies, and secure cloud infrastructure. With certified professionals in PMP, LEED, and advanced analytics, Omnix is poised to deliver scalable, future-proof solutions for the region's expanding development landscape, the statement concluded.
