PlanRadar launches “Construction Site Templates Playbook” to help GCC project teams improve daily site execution control

New bilingual (English/Arabic) guide brings together practical templates and an execution control framework to support safer delivery, stronger QA/QC, and more predictable handovers across construction and real estate projects

Dubai, UAE — 9 February 2026 — PlanRadar, a digital platform for construction and real estate project management, has launched the Construction Site Templates Playbook, a new practical guide designed to help project teams strengthen day-to-day execution control through disciplined, repeatable site documentation.

According to ADREC data, total real estate sales rose from $27 billion in 2024 to nearly $39 billion in 2025, while the number of transactions increased by 49%. Whitewill, the international luxury real estate agency, attributes this performance to a combination of long-term urban planning, controlled supply, and rising international confidence in Abu Dhabi as a stable investment destination.
