How Real Estate ERP in Abu Dhabi fits island-scale projects

Developers in Abu Dhabi often carry a tower on Al Reem Island, a villa phase on Yas Island and land held for later on Saadiyat Island, each inside its own company. RealMake ERP posts every bill, receipt and journal to the right project, phase and legal entity, so nobody has to split costs in a spreadsheet afterwards. Contractor certificates for shared infrastructure works can be spread across phases using allocation rules your finance team agrees once. Purchase approvals follow amount limits set per entity. Symake consultants travel from Bengaluru for design workshops and go-live, while support runs remotely across the UAE working week.

Back-office modules for Abu Dhabi developers

Nine parts of RealMake ERP your finance team will use

Entity ledgers

Each company in the group keeps its own chart of accounts, bank accounts and tax registration inside one database.

Inter-company postings

A charge raised by the holding company creates the matching entry in the project company, ready for elimination.

Phase budgets

Budgets are set per phase and work package, then compared with commitments and actual cost each time a bill is approved.

Cost to complete

Project managers update the remaining estimate, and finance sees the forecast final cost without collecting separate sheets.

Purchase requests

Site teams raise requests against a budget line, and the system checks what is left before the request moves to approval.

Contractor certificates

Interim certificates record work done, retention held and advance recovered, then post to the contractor's account.

Vendor payments

Approved bills are grouped into payment runs by due date and bank, with each payment linked back to its purchase order.

Asset register

Show apartments, site cabins and company vehicles sit in a fixed asset register with depreciation posted monthly.

Close checklist

Month-end tasks, accruals and bank reconciliations are tracked per entity so the group close does not stall on one company.

Group accounting for Abu Dhabi master developers

A master developer in Abu Dhabi may build roads and utilities for a whole community, then hand plots to sub-developers or to its own project companies. RealMake ERP records that infrastructure spend once and recharges it to each project through inter-company entries. The group sees consolidated figures, each company keeps clean books, and auditors can trace any recharge back to the original contractor certificate.

Infrastructure spend recharged by agreed keys
Matching entries created in both companies
Eliminations prepared for consolidated reports
Recharges traced to the source certificate

A property back office for Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi developers work under the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC), and leasing arms register tenancy contracts through Tawtheeq, so the ERP keeps those references against the related income lines. VAT is 5% and corporate tax is 9%; RealMake applies the VAT treatment your tax advisor sets for each unit type rather than guessing it. On the federal e-invoicing timeline, groups with revenue of AED 50 million or more needed an accredited service provider appointed by 30 October 2026 and start on 1 January 2027. Smaller groups have until 31 March 2027 to appoint one, with a 1 July 2027 start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can RealMake ERP run a separate company for each Abu Dhabi island project?

Yes. A tower on Al Reem Island and a villa phase on Yas Island can each sit in their own company with separate ledgers, bank accounts and tax registration, while the holding company still sees combined figures.

When does e-invoicing apply to our Abu Dhabi group?

It depends on revenue. Groups at AED 50 million or more go live on 1 January 2027. Others must appoint an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. RealMake ERP holds the invoice data in the structure the provider needs.

Where do Tawtheeq references sit in the ERP?

The Tawtheeq number for each registered tenancy contract is stored on the income record it relates to, so auditors and tax advisors can match rent in the ledger to the registered contract.

Does Symake have staff based in Abu Dhabi?

No. Symake works from Mahadevapura, Bengaluru, and has no office in the GCC. Consultants fly in for workshops, training and go-live, and everyday support is handled remotely during UAE working hours.

How are retention amounts released to contractors?

Retention builds up on each certificate. When practical completion or the end of the defects period is approved, finance raises a release against the contract, and the payment links back to the certificates that held it.

Can we keep our existing chart of accounts?

Usually, yes. We review it in the design workshop, add project, phase and entity dimensions where they are missing, and keep the account numbers your auditors already know wherever possible.

Who decides the VAT treatment on each unit type?

Your tax advisor does. RealMake ERP does not choose a treatment for villas, apartments or commercial space. Your advisor sets the tax code per unit type, and the system applies it consistently on every invoice.

What language is the training delivered in?

Training, user guides and support are in English. Sessions are run per role, so accountants, quantity surveyors and buyers each learn only the screens they use.
