Reconstruction
One accountable record for rebuilding a country, from damage assessment to the asset handed back to its people.
The challenge
After a war or a natural disaster, a country has to rebuild housing, schools, hospitals, roads, power and water at the same time, through thousands of projects funded by the state, sovereign and development funds, international donors and private investors. Damage has to be assessed asset by asset, priorities set, contracts awarded quickly and every payment justified. Without one shared record, funding is duplicated, progress cannot be shown and the confidence of funders erodes.
What PMWEB digitalizes
What changes when delivery runs in PMWEB.
Asset-centric from day one
Every damaged school, hospital, road or network is recorded as an asset with its condition, so each project starts from what needs rebuilding.
Funding prioritised in the open
Condition, benefit and cost decide which projects are funded first, in a way every stakeholder can audit.
Accountability to every funder
Each grant, loan or investment is traced to the projects and payments it funds, with reports each funder can rely on.
Fast, controlled procurement
Contractor prequalification, online tendering and contract award under a clear delegation of authority.
Interfaces between programmes
Housing, utilities and roads are coordinated, so one investment does not wait on another.
Grievances and permits
Community grievances, land issues and permits recorded and resolved, linked to the projects they affect.

In practice
From Beirut and Fiji to Syria.
After the Beirut port explosion in August 2020, CMCS proposed PMWEB to document the damage and govern the rebuilding. Every neighbourhood, building, floor, flat and shop would be recorded as an asset, with its damage, photographs and occupants, and shown on a map. Rebuilding would follow three phases: urgent repairs as work orders priced from an agreed list of work items, remeasured contracts for damaged but stable buildings, and lump-sum contracts for buildings to be rebuilt, with every transaction visible to funders.
Read the two articlesWhen Tropical Cyclone Winston struck Fiji, the Ministry of Economy had no central view of the damage, or of the projects, assets and funds tied to each. It set up a Construction Implementation Unit and adopted an asset-centric model in PMWEB, installed on its own servers. Every project now starts from the asset, its condition and the benefit of restoring it, and that drives yearly funding decisions.
Request detailsThe reconstruction of Syria will be one of the largest capital programmes in the region, delivered by ministries, sovereign and development funds and international partners together. CMCS positions PMWEB as the control tower for that programme: one bilingual Arabic and English system of record, hosted where the government requires, that gives every funder transparency over how its money is spent and coordinates each investment with the others.
