BUSINESS CENTRAL FOR UAE PROJECT COMPANIES
For construction companies, consulting firms, IT services businesses, and inspection firms in UAE, every project is a profit centre — and every project needs to be tracked from first resource allocation to final invoice. Microsoft Business Central’s Project Management module gives you real-time visibility across your entire project portfolio: budgets, resource utilisation, WIP, and billing. Burhani configures Business Central for UAE project companies with the specific cost structures and billing models each industry requires.

INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Helping Project-Based Companies Across the UAE
Business Central’s project module is not limited to construction. Any business that organizes work into projects or jobs, with trackable costs and billable deliverables, benefits from a unified framework for managing resources, costs, billing, and profitability.
IT Services and Technology Implementation
IT companies manage ERP implementations, software deployments, infrastructure rollouts, and managed service contracts. Business Central tracks consultant time, billable hours, project costs, contract renewals, and profitability while automating AMC renewals to prevent missed revenue.
Inspection, Testing, and Certification Services
Inspection and testing firms manage high volumes of jobs involving inspectors, travel, equipment, and third-party labs. Business Central tracks job costs, billing, and profitability by client, inspector, job type, and region, providing real-time visibility across every engagement.
Build, Design, and Contracting
Design-build companies manage materials, site expenses, subcontractors, and labor across every project. Business Central consolidates all costs into a single project view, delivering real-time profitability with every transaction and eliminating manual reconciliation or month-end spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Business Central handle project billing for UAE contracting companies?
Yes. Business Central supports milestone billing, time and materials billing, and fixed-fee billing. For UAE contractors, Burhani configures advance payment tracking, variation order management, and progress billing as standard during implementation.
Does Business Central support WIP (Work in Progress) accounting?
Yes. Business Central includes full WIP accounting with multiple recognition methods. This is essential for UAE project companies that must recognise revenue over the course of a project rather than at completion, in compliance with IFRS 15.
How does Business Central handle job costing for companies with mixed cost types?
Business Central tracks all three cost dimensions against a single project card: item costs (materials and purchased goods), resource costs (people and equipment time), and general ledger costs (expenses and subcontractors). All cost lines roll up to a live project profitability view without any manual consolidation.
How does Business Central handle multi-currency projects in UAE?
Business Central supports multi-currency transactions natively. Projects can be contracted and billed in USD, EUR, or any other currency, while the general ledger reports in AED. Exchange rate gains and losses are tracked automatically.
What types of project companies in UAE use Business Central?
Burhani has implemented Business Central for construction and MEP contractors, engineering consultancies, design-build firms, inspection and certification companies, IT services businesses, real estate developers, event management companies, and professional services firms.
Can Business Central manage both projects and company finances in one system?
Yes. Project costs — labour, materials, subcontractors, expenses — flow directly into the general ledger in real time. There is no data transfer between a project tool and an accounting system. Finance and project management operate from a single source of truth.
