With all these massive projects like NEOM and the Red Sea development, our medium-sized firm is trying to figure out how to compete for sub-contracts. My main concern isn't the quality of our work—we have great engineers—but our reporting standards. These "Giga-projects" require such high levels of transparency and specific data formats for compliance. Does anyone have experience upgrading their internal systems to meet these high-tier requirements? I don't want us to miss out on the 2030 boom just because our back-office tech is stuck in the early 2000s!

You're right to be concerned. The bigger the project, the stricter the reporting. They don't just want to see that the building is standing; they want to see your ZATCA compliance, your Saudization levels, and your safety audits all in one place. We had to do a complete digital overhaul last year to keep up. This resource here was actually my starting point for understanding what’s needed https://thearabianpost.com/conquering-complexity-how-a-specialized-erp-for-ksa-s-construction-industry-drives-growth-and-compliance/ It talks specifically about how construction-specific ERPs help meet these KSA-specific standards. Honestly, moving away from manual reporting was the only way we could get our foot in the door with the Tier-1 contractors.

That's a solid point, I need to make sure our "back-office" is as strong as our engineering team.
