Technology Leadership for Construction Organizations

Secure, reliable technology that connects head office, project teams and job sites, so bids, drawings and financials stay protected and projects stay on schedule.

Industry Challenges

Built for Job Sites, Crews and Deadlines

Construction technology has to work in trailers, on tablets and across temporary sites, not just at head office.

Temporary Site Connectivity

Trailers and short-term sites need fast, secure connectivity that can be deployed and removed quickly.

Drawing and Document Control

Teams need the current drawings, RFIs and submittals on site without version confusion.

Field Device Management

Tablets, laptops and phones used by supervisors and crews must be secured, updated and recoverable.

Disconnected Systems

Estimating, project management, accounting and payroll systems that do not share data create double entry.

Workforce Turnover

Seasonal and project-based staff need fast onboarding and immediate removal of access when they leave.

Cost and Schedule Pressure

Technology outages on a busy project translate directly into delays and lost margin.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Concerns in Construction

Construction firms are attractive targets because large payments move quickly between owners, contractors and suppliers.

Payment and invoice fraudBusiness email compromise used to redirect progress payments and supplier invoices.
RansomwareEncryption of project files and accounting systems during critical project phases.
Lost or stolen devicesUnencrypted field devices exposing drawings, bids and personal information.
Shared credentialsGeneric site logins that make it impossible to know who accessed what.
Supplier and subcontractor accessThird parties with access to portals and shared folders that is never reviewed.
Bid confidentialityCompetitive pricing and tender documents exposed through unmanaged sharing.
