Why construction companies choose managed IT
Construction work happens away from the office. Superintendents open plans on tablets, estimators need big screens and powerful PCs, and site trailers run on whatever internet they can get.
Contractors also move large payments to subcontractors and suppliers, which makes them targets for fake invoices and changed bank details.

Your vendor handles

Security and compliance
Job site devices get lost, shared and left in trucks. Encryption, MFA and device management protect bids, plans and payment information, and a lost tablet can be wiped remotely.
Onboarding
Before support begins, we review the systems around your AutoCAD, BlueBeam, estimating and project management software, and accounting such as Sage, list every admin account and backup, and plan fixes for anything risky. The office keeps working while we do it.
Pricing
The monthly price for construction companies is made of the Managed Services it needs: a per-user fee for accounts and support, a per-workstation fee for each managed computer, and a server or network fee only where those apply. Adding a hire or retiring a laptop changes only the matching line. Agreements run for a longer term rather than month to month.
