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.

IT Support for Construction & Building Companies

Your IT needs to work in portacabins, on building sites, and in the van - not just the office.

Designed for businesses with 5+ staff who value technology as a business enabler.

The IT Challenges You Face

We understand the specific technology pressures in your sector

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.

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.

How Fresh Tech Helps

Practical solutions designed for your industry

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.

Why Construction IT Is Different

Most IT companies set up an office network and call it done. Construction businesses need IT that works across a constantly changing environment - new sites, temporary offices, mobile workers, and subcontractor access to shared systems.

We work with construction firms across Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Worcestershire who face these challenges daily. From regional builders and specialist subcontractors to civil engineering firms and property developers - the common thread is IT that needs to be practical, reliable, and accessible from anywhere.

Project Management & Collaboration

Modern construction projects generate enormous amounts of documentation. Drawings, specifications, RAMS, method statements, programmes, and progress reports - all shared between multiple parties. Microsoft 365 with SharePoint provides version-controlled document libraries, Teams channels per project, and mobile access for site teams.

Keeping Site Teams Connected

We deploy cloud-based phone systems so your office number follows your team to site. Calls route to mobiles, project managers can conference from portacabins, and clients always reach someone - not a voicemail.

Health & Safety Compliance

Digital H&S systems, online inductions, and electronic RAMS mean less paperwork and better compliance trails. We help construction firms digitise these processes using Microsoft 365 tools they're already paying for.

Winning Work - Cyber Essentials & Digital Capability

Increasing numbers of main contractors and public sector clients require Cyber Essentials certification as a tender prerequisite. We've helped construction firms achieve certification quickly and affordably - don't lose contracts because of a checkbox you haven't ticked.
