To help the built environment work with greater clarity, connection and confidence
Why IOX
$20B+ in Benchmark Project Costs
Built on decades of benchmark cost, procurement and delivery data.
Industry Expertise since 1995
Industry expertise and delivery knowledge
Live Project Validation
Every capability is tested against live project data before it becomes part of the solution.
AI-Native Delivery
Research, design, development and deployment accelerated through AI-powered operating model.
The construction industry generates enormous amounts of data. Yet critical decisions are still made with fragmented information, disconnected systems and limited visibility. IOX was created to change that.
We combine decades of commercial expertise, over $20 billion in benchmark project costs, and modern AI-powered technology to create a new intelligence layer for the built environment.
Joint Venture Partners
An impact-led joint venture for a more connected industry.
IOX is built on the strengths of two businesses with different, but highly complementary capabilities. Omnium brings credibility, context and deep sector understanding. Innovaite brings product thinking, AI-native delivery and the ability to test and build with pace. Together, they're the foundation behind IOX.
Established for over 50 years, Omnium is an independent project management, commercial management, cost consultancy and quantity surveying firm working for major developers, employers and consultants across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Europe. Its experience spans complex sectors and major programmes, supported by RICS regulation and ISO accreditation - giving IOX a strong foundation in the realities of the built environment, how decisions are made, and what it takes to deliver in practice.
Most organisations are caught between strategy and execution - knowing what they want to achieve, but lacking partners who can connect the thinking, the technology, and the evidence before major investment decisions are made. Innovaite is built for exactly that gap.
Its model brings together strategic thinking, rapid prototyping, data-led experimentation, and solution development in one connected flow - giving IOX the ability to move confidently from opportunity to structured requirement, working prototype, and proven solution.

Our Advisory Board
Wider perspective, brought in where it adds value.
IOX is built on deep industry knowledge and strong product capability. Our advisory board adds another important dimension - perspective from beyond the built environment.
Some of the most useful ideas don’t come from staying close to the familiar. They come from understanding how other sectors solve problems, use technology, manage risk, create value and respond to change. The role of our advisory board is to bring that wider thinking into IOX in a way that’s practical, relevant and grounded.
This isn’t innovation for its own sake. It’s about making better decisions, asking better questions, and ensuring IOX continues to build with both industry relevance and broader market awareness.
By combining built environment expertise, product and technology capability, and cross-sector insight, IOX is designed to be both grounded and forward-looking. Our advisory board strengthens that balance - bringing challenge, perspective and experience that support meaningful industry transformation in a way that’s credible, connected and useful in practice.
