Construction

IT support for construction — built for site offices, not just head office.

Construction IT has to work in temporary site cabins with changing connectivity, not just a stable head office network. Projects start, finish and move location; subcontractors need short-term access and then don't; hardware takes a beating in dusty, mobile environments most office IT was never designed for. Support built for construction has to start from that reality.

The project IT lifecycle

IT that moves at the same pace as the project.

A construction project isn't a fixed IT environment — it opens, runs and closes. Here's how support tracks that.

01

Site setup & connectivity

Temporary connectivity stood up fast in a new site cabin — Wi-Fi, VoIP and network access ready before the first team arrives on site.

02

Active build & subcontractor access

Short-term logins provisioned as subcontractor teams rotate on and off the project, without leaving stale access behind once they've moved on.

03

Ongoing site support

Hardware and connectivity that hold up in a dusty, mobile site environment, with support that doesn't assume everything lives on a clean office desk.

04

Handover & project close

Data, documentation and access wound down cleanly at project close — records retained where required, access revoked, site connectivity decommissioned.

Operational realities

What construction firms actually need from IT support

Subcontractor and temporary worker access

Project teams change constantly — subcontractors join for a phase and leave once it's done. Access needs to be provisioned and revoked cleanly as that happens, not left as a standing risk of former subcontractors still holding live credentials months after they've gone.

BIM, CAD and project management software

Procore, Asta Powerproject, COINS, Causeway and BIM platforms have real infrastructure and licensing requirements that most generalist IT providers haven't configured before. Getting this wrong doesn't just slow things down — it can affect coordination between site teams and head office.

Health & safety documentation and CDM compliance

Accurate, retrievable health and safety records aren't optional paperwork on a construction site — CDM 2015 requires them, and a regulator or a client can ask for them at short notice. Systems need to keep this documentation available and intact, not scattered across individual laptops.

Multiple concurrent projects, one IT relationship

A site opening in one location while another closes elsewhere is normal for a construction business. IT support has to scale up and down with the project pipeline rather than assuming a fixed number of locations that never changes.

FAQ

IT support for construction — questions we get asked

We stand up Wi-Fi, wired network access and VoIP in a new site cabin ahead of the project team arriving, sized to the scale of that specific site rather than a generic template applied everywhere. Because construction sites are temporary by nature — a project might run for a few months or several years, but it always ends — the setup is designed from the start to be deployed quickly and decommissioned cleanly at project close, rather than treated like a permanent office installation that happens to be in a portable building. That distinction matters for cost as much as convenience: equipment and contracts suited to a permanent office often carry commitments that don't make sense for a site with a known end date.

Subcontractor accounts are provisioned for the specific phase of work they're brought in for and revoked as soon as that phase ends or the subcontractor leaves the project, which is built into our onboarding and offboarding process rather than left to be remembered manually by whoever happens to be managing the site. Stale subcontractor access — a login still active months after someone finished their work — is one of the more common security gaps we find when we first review a construction business's existing setup, and it's also one of the easiest to fix once there's a proper process in place rather than an informal one dependent on someone's memory.

Yes — Procore, Asta Powerproject, COINS, Causeway, Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360 all have specific infrastructure, licensing and integration requirements that we've configured before rather than treating them as generic third-party software outside normal scope. Getting this right affects coordination between site teams and head office directly: a BIM platform that's slow or poorly integrated doesn't just frustrate the person using it, it can introduce version-control confusion between what site teams are looking at and what's actually current. We treat these platforms as core infrastructure worth getting right, not an afterthought bolted onto a standard office IT setup.

Site connectivity is decommissioned, subcontractor and temporary worker access is revoked, and project documentation — health and safety records, BIM data, financial records tied to that project — is retained according to your record-keeping requirements before the site office IT itself is wound down. This is planned as part of project close from the outset, factored into the original site setup, rather than being an afterthought improvised once everyone's already moved on to the next job and the site cabin is being cleared out.

Yes — ruggedised devices with real dust and drop tolerance are available for situations where a standard laptop simply wouldn't survive site conditions, alongside a support process that doesn't assume every device lives on a clean office desk in a climate-controlled room. This extends to how we handle repairs and replacements too: a broken laptop on an active construction site is a different kind of urgent problem than one in a head office, and the support model reflects that rather than applying the same turnaround expectations to both.

Yes, regularly — a site opening while another closes is normal for a construction business, and our support scales with your project pipeline rather than assuming a fixed number of locations.

Both. Many construction clients want fully managed support across head office and site offices; others need a specific project delivered — a new site connectivity setup, a BIM platform migration — scoped separately.

We make sure health and safety documentation systems are backed up, access-controlled and retrievable at short notice, since CDM 2015 requires accurate records to be available to regulators and clients on request, not just stored somewhere on an individual laptop.

Yes — our practices are built around the Cyber Essentials framework and GDPR-aligned data handling, which matters particularly given the volume of subcontractor and temporary worker data construction businesses handle. We're pursuing formal certification alongside this and will publish it once held.

A senior engineer reviews your current setup — head office, site offices, subcontractor access management and software licensing — and gives you a straight assessment of what needs attention, with no obligation to proceed afterwards.

Yes — we start with the Gap Analysis, build a migration and handover plan, and run the transition on an agreed date so support is never interrupted, including for any active site offices at the time of switching.
