We build stalled projects in the UAE
Building stalled projects in the UAE
Qanat audits and rescues software projects that have stalled, run over, or been inherited from a departed agency. The audit ends with a written recommendation — including rebuild, when that is the honest answer — and the report is yours to take to any developer.

From the first commit
Scope
What a build of this kind actually contains.
Everything below is inside the quoted price. The items agencies leave out of a cheap quote — admin tooling, error states, deployment, handover — are the ones you end up paying for anyway.
- 01
Full read of the codebase, infrastructure and deployment path
- 02
An inventory of what works, what is unfinished and what is unsafe
- 03
A cost estimate for finishing versus rebuilding, with the reasoning shown
- 04
Security and data-handling issues flagged with severity
- 05
A written report you can take to any developer, not just us
What we build it with
- Any
- Legacy PHP
- WordPress
- Node.js
- React
- Laravel
How this goes wrong
The failure mode we see most often.
Hiring the next agency before understanding why the last one failed. Roughly half the projects we audit failed on scope and decision-making rather than on code, and a new team walks into the same conditions.
What it costs
We do not publish a rate card, and you should distrust anyone who does.
The price of stalled projects is decided by scope, not by category. Two projects with the same label routinely differ by a factor of five, and a number quoted before anyone has read your requirements is a guess dressed as a quote.
What we commit to is this: one price, written against a scope you have read and agreed, fixed before work starts. If we estimated badly that is our problem, not a change request.
If you need a budget figure first
Our UAE software cost guide publishes what the market charges, with every figure sourced. That is researched market data for budgeting — not our price list, and not a quote.
Questions
Technical Audit & Project Rescue in the UAE
Our developer disappeared. Can you take over the project?
Usually. Start with the audit — one to two weeks, fixed price — and you get a written assessment of what exists and what finishing it costs. The report is yours regardless of whether you continue with us.
Will you tell us to rebuild just to win a bigger project?
The audit is priced so we do not need the rebuild to make it worthwhile, and the report shows the reasoning for both paths so you can have it checked by someone else.
How long does it take to build stalled projects in the UAE?
It depends on the scope, and any studio quoting you a duration before reading your requirements is guessing. We commit to a specific date in the quote, once the scope is written, and you see the software running well before that date rather than at the end.
Start here
Building stalled projects? Tell us what it has to do.
A scope call, then a written scope and one fixed price against it. 20% of that price is held back until you accept the finished build, and the scope is yours to take elsewhere either way.
- Who reads it
- Alexandre Arnaud, Founder & Engineer. Not a coordinator, not an inbox.
- What happens
- A 20-minute call to pin the outcome, then a written scope and one fixed price against it.
- What it costs
- Nothing to get scoped and quoted. The quote is free and the scope is yours to take elsewhere.
