Site Connectivity
Building sites rarely have reliable internet. Your project managers need access to plans, emails, and scheduling tools from locations with no fixed broadband. 4G/5G failover and offline-capable tools are essential, not optional.
We work with construction
IT Support for Construction & Building Companies
Construction businesses operate across multiple sites, in tough environments, and with teams who are rarely behind a desk. Your IT needs to work in portacabins, on building sites, and in the van - not just the office. Fresh Tech provides practical, rugged IT solutions designed for how construction companies actually work.
What construction deal with
We know your problems
These aren't hypothetical; they're the issues we fix every week.
Mobile Workforce
Your team is spread across multiple sites, working from vans, portacabins, and client premises. Managing devices, deploying apps, and enforcing security policies on hardware you can't physically touch requires proper mobile device management.
Dust & Damage
Standard consumer laptops and tablets don't survive construction environments. Dust, vibration, moisture, and drops destroy equipment that wasn't built for the job. You need rugged or semi-rugged hardware that keeps working.
Document Management
Drawings, specifications, health & safety documents, RAMS, method statements - shared across subcontractors, architects, and clients. Version control is a nightmare without proper systems. The wrong revision on site costs real money.
What we do for you
How we solve them
4G/5G Site Solutions
We deploy mobile broadband solutions for temporary sites - including enterprise 4G/5G routers, external antennas for signal boosting, and VPN connectivity back to your main systems. Your project managers stay connected.
Microsoft 365 for Construction
SharePoint for document management with version control, Teams for site-to-office communication, and Planner for project task management. All accessible from any device, anywhere - with offline sync when connectivity drops.
Rugged Hardware
We source and configure business-grade laptops and tablets designed for tough environments. Semi-rugged Dell Latitude models and protective cases that survive site conditions without the premium of military-spec hardware.
Cyber Essentials for Tenders
Many main contractors now require Cyber Essentials certification from subcontractors. We guide you through the certification process - often completing it within 2-4 weeks - so you don't lose contracts.
Questions from construction
Specific to your sector
Can you provide internet connectivity on a temporary building site?+
Yes - we deploy enterprise 4G/5G routers with external antennas for signal boosting. For longer-term sites, we can arrange temporary fibre or leased line installations. We'll survey the site and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
We need Cyber Essentials for a tender deadline - how fast can you do it?+
Typically 2-4 weeks from engagement to certification. If your IT is already reasonably well-managed, it can be faster. We'll assess your readiness, fix any gaps, and guide you through the self-assessment. Don't leave it until the tender deadline.
How do you manage devices that are never in the office?+
Using Microsoft Intune (part of Business Premium), we manage devices remotely - deploying apps, enforcing security policies, pushing updates, and even wiping lost devices. It doesn't matter whether the device is on site, at home, or in a van.
What about subcontractor access to our systems?+
We configure guest access and external sharing in Microsoft 365 so subcontractors can access specific project folders without seeing your wider business data. Proper permissions and access controls keep your information secure.
Do you support construction-specific software?+
We support businesses using a range of construction software including estimation tools, project management platforms, and CAD/BIM applications. We configure hardware and networks to run these tools effectively and provide helpdesk support for integration issues.
