What we do for contractors, in one paragraph
Infirise is an IT and ELV partner for MEP and fit-out contractors in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We supply and support engineering workstations and software licences, connect site offices, protect project data from ransomware, and install and commission structured cabling, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control and AV systems as your ELV and ICT subcontractor.
More projects, more data — and more attackers
The UAE construction market is estimated at about USD 127 billion in 2026 (Mordor Intelligence), and USD 29.7 billion of projects were awarded in the first quarter of 2026 alone (MEED). In April 2026 the head of UAE Government cyber security named building and construction among the sectors being targeted, as daily attacks on the UAE rose to around 600,000 (Khaleej Times).
Sound familiar?
Slow machines, expensive engineers
Revit, AutoCAD and Navisworks crawl on under-specified laptops, wasting engineering hours you pay for.
Drawings everywhere
Revisions live on laptops, USB drives and email attachments; nobody is sure which one went to site.
Site offices offline
Mobilisation waits for internet, Wi-Fi, printers and CCTV at the site cabin.
Ransomware and invoice fraud
One compromised mailbox can leak tender pricing or redirect a supplier payment.
Licences out of control
Autodesk and Microsoft licences are hard to track across projects, joiners and leavers — until an audit or renewal bill arrives.
ELV packages that drag
Subcontracted cabling, CCTV and access control arrive late, or without test certificates and as-built drawings.

Contractor FAQ
What IT does a construction site office need?
A typical site office needs business-grade internet with a 4G/5G backup, secure Wi-Fi, a few workstations and a printer, CCTV for site security, and a secure connection to head-office files and drawings. Infirise installs a site IT kit in 4 working days and removes it at demobilisation.
What computer specification do Revit and BIM teams need?
BIM performance depends mostly on a fast processor (high single-core speed), enough memory (32 GB or more is common for large models), a fast NVMe SSD and a professional graphics card. We specify workstations against Autodesk’s published system requirements and your model sizes, then standardise builds so every engineer gets the same performance.
How do we protect project drawings from ransomware?
Follow the 3-2-1 rule: three copies of your data, on two types of storage, with one copy off-site and immutable — it cannot be changed or deleted, even by an attacker with admin rights. Add multi-factor authentication to every account, endpoint protection on every workstation and a restore test every quarter.
Do you work as an ELV or ICT subcontractor?
Yes. We supply, install, test and commission structured cabling, Wi-Fi, CCTV, access control, IPTV and AV packages for MEP and fit-out contractors, with as-built drawings and O&M manuals for handover.
When does UAE e-invoicing apply to contractors?
Businesses with annual revenue of AED 50 million or more must appoint an Accredited Service Provider by 30 October 2026 and go live on 1 January 2027; businesses below that must appoint one by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. We get your IT ready for the integration.
Are you ISO certified?
Infirise holds ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) certification. Many main contractors and FM companies ask for these in vendor pre-qualification; we share certificates and HSE documents on request.
