Construction & Engineering

Jobsite connectivity, BIM security, subcontractor access — one accountable team.

Mobile-first IT solutions for construction companies with distributed teams and project-based operations.

SOC2OSHA

GCs, CMs, and specialty contractors across Metro Vancouver, Greater Toronto, South Florida, Central Florida, and LA — field + office on one contract.

What you can count on

93% of tickets touched within 15 minutes. 100% of after-hours messages acknowledged the same business day. Every engagement staffed by a named senior engineer.

What we see in construction & engineering

Pain you're probably already feeling.

Your BIM models are the crown jewels. And they’re on a shared drive.

A single design file can represent months of engineering. One loose permission, one laptop left in a truck, one phishing click on the accounts team, and a competitor sees your tender response before the owner does. Sharing with subs doesn’t have to mean sharing with the internet.

The jobsite trailer is your weakest security surface.

Site laptops cycle through crews, split-tunnel to free Wi-Fi, and collect dust with cached credentials. Standard MDM + conditional access shrink this attack surface by 80% — most construction firms just haven’t deployed it because no-one insisted.

Project accounting systems get ransomware’d at quarter-end.

Threat actors know the schedule: progress claims go in at month-end, so the encryption timer lands a day before your payment cycle. The answer isn’t better backups (though you need those too) — it’s 24/7 monitoring that catches the reconnaissance phase a week earlier.

What we install on day one.

Compliance, line by line

What each framework actually asks for — and what we do about it.

SOC 2 for GC / CM partners

What it requires

Evidence of operating security + availability controls when you handle owner data or act as a subcontractor on regulated projects.

How we help

Evidence collected continuously so your owner due diligence responses turn around in days, not weeks. Typical first-time clients hit Type II in 9 weeks.

CJIS / DoD / federal projects

What it requires

Background-checked personnel, encrypted-in-transit + at-rest, documented chain of custody for project data.

How we help

US-person engineers available on request, FedRAMP-aligned cloud setups, documented control catalog your federal sponsor’s ISSO can consume directly.

Cyber insurance for construction

What it requires

EDR, MFA, tested backups — same three as every industry, but construction premiums respond faster because the baseline is lower.

How we help

All three installed on day one of onboarding; your broker gets the attestation letter they need for the next renewal cycle.

Score your risk. Price your downtime. No call required.

Two short diagnostics built by our senior engineers. Answer a handful of questions, get a scored report with next steps — yours to keep either way.

Questions we always get

Before the call.

Straight answers so the health-check call can skip the basics.

Can you support our BIM / CAD stack (Revit, Bentley, Navisworks, AutoCAD)?

Yes. We specialize in GPU-workstation provisioning, licensed-software management across BIM 360 / ACC, and version-controlled project sharing with your subs without giving them full file access.

What about jobsite connectivity in remote areas?

We design cellular + satellite failover for trailers, deploy ruggedized laptops with offline sync, and manage the transition from your home office VPN to Teams Rooms in site offices as projects scale.

How do you handle subcontractor onboarding + offboarding?

Named-guest access with time-boxed expiration, per-project Teams channels that auto-archive, and a 24-hour SLA for access revocation after a sub demobs. The main failure mode in construction IT is forgotten accounts lingering for months — we eliminate that.

Can you project-manage a complete stack migration during an active build cycle?

Yes. Our playbook sequences migrations so field teams never lose access — usually weekends or overnight cutovers, with a 24-hour rollback plan. We’ve done multi-office migrations for GCs with 300+ active job sites.

Do you do equipment / fleet IT (telematics, IoT, fuel systems)?

We secure the network side — segmented jobsite networks, patching schedules for telematics gateways, monitoring for unauthorized device connections. We don’t resell the OEM telematics platforms but we manage your side of the integration.
