Construction Management for Every Project. With BIM When You Need It.
Some projects are fully modelled; many run on 2D drawings. Arkan handles both: construction management—BOQ, payments, P6 schedules, inspections—plus an IFC viewer with clash detection and RFIs created straight from the 3D model.
BIM Is One Part of the Project
Model coordination matters—but so do schedules, payments and quality.
Not every project is fully modelled.
Many fit-out, maintenance, infrastructure and villa projects run on 2D drawings—and still need strong construction management.
Not everyone on the team is a BIM specialist.
Site engineers, QS teams and document controllers need tools built around their daily work, with 3D available when the project has models.
Commercial workflows matter as much as the model.
BOQ, variations and payment certificates drive cash flow. Check whether your platform handles them, or whether they end up back in Excel.
Model coordination should connect to the rest of the project.
When a clash is found, the follow-up is usually an RFI. In Arkan, RFIs can be created directly from the 3D model with a saved viewpoint.
Construction Management First. BIM Built In.
Arkan covers day-to-day construction management and includes BIM coordination.
Everyday Construction Workflows, Plus 3D
What Arkan provides for each need. Capabilities of BIM-first platforms vary, so check with each vendor.
Choosing the Right Fit
Guidance on when each type of platform makes sense.
BIM-First Platform Sweet Spot
A BIM-first platform may suit you better when:
- Your project has comprehensive 3D models from all disciplines
- Design-build delivery relies on close integration with design-authoring tools
- Advanced model workflows such as 4D/5D simulation are central to delivery
- Your team runs model-heavy coordination as its main daily activity
Arkan Sweet Spot
Arkan is a good fit when:
- Your projects mix 2D drawings and IFC models
- Commercial management (BOQ, payment certificates) is critical
- P6 scheduling drives your planning
- Teams need an Arabic interface
- You want clash detection and RFIs from the model alongside everyday workflows
- You run multiple project types with varying BIM maturity
