SAKNA is a web-based platform that will break through the construction industry in the United Arab Emirates by making life easy for homeowners and project managers who seek the right professional for their construction projects. Created using Wix, SAKNA provides a single user interface that is easy to handle with special features such as the advanced contractor-matching system, cost estimation, the project management interface, multi-lingual support, and localized regulatory guidelines for the UAE market.

SAKNA stands unique among other platforms because it will cover the needs of the UAE exclusively. It provides advanced search filters, user favorites, contractor galleries that are searchable, multilingual support, and region-specific permit guidelines. Using Wix tools and Velo will be a scalable way to build this platform with flexibility and maintainability in mind, without complex server-side configurations. Its major strengths involve the platform's localized approach, friendly user interface, multilingual capabilities, and advanced system for matching with contractors. However, this platform has tough competitors globally. SAKNA is expected to develop an even better user and contractor experience by incorporating technologies soon like AI, Machine Learning, and Virtual Reality and continue towards an even robust solution for UAE's construction industry.
