IT SUPPORT FOR
CONSTRUCTION
COMPANIES · 2026
Coreitech provides specialist IT support for construction companies across London and the UK — site connectivity deployed in 48 hours, BIM software support, Cyber Essentials, mobile device management, and head office IT. One fixed monthly price.
Why construction companies need
specialist IT support
Construction is one of the most complex IT environments in any industry — and one of the most poorly served by generic IT providers. The demands are fundamentally different from a standard office business: mobile workforces operating across multiple simultaneous project sites, often in locations with no fixed broadband; harsh environments that destroy standard consumer electronics; massive data files from BIM models and drone surveys; and a supply chain ecosystem that requires secure data sharing with dozens of subcontractors.
Digital transformation is accelerating in construction faster than in almost any other sector. BIM Level 2 is now mandatory for government projects. Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, and Viewpoint are replacing paper-based project management. Drone surveys, digital twins, and IoT sensors are generating data volumes that demand enterprise-grade IT infrastructure.
Most IT support companies don't understand Autodesk Revit, have never deployed 4G bonded routers to a site cabin, and have no idea what a Cyber Essentials supply chain requirement looks like. Coreitech does. We support construction firms from single-site fit-out specialists to multi-project main contractors across London and the UK.
Which construction businesses work with Coreitech?
What is IT support for construction?
IT support for construction is the managed delivery of technology for a construction business — site connectivity, mobile devices, BIM and project software, cyber security, Microsoft 365, and head-office helpdesk — handled by one specialist provider under a fixed monthly contract. It is built around how construction actually works: teams move between project sites, connectivity is rarely pre-installed, tender and BIM data is sensitive, and main contractors increasingly demand Cyber Essentials from their supply chain.
Coreitech delivers IT support for construction companies across London and the UK — 4G/5G site connectivity deployed in 24–48 hours, BIM software support (Revit, BIM 360, Procore), Cyber Essentials and CE+ certification, and centralised multi-site management under one contract. From £25/user/month for head office teams, with on-site engineers and a 15-minute critical SLA.
Site connectivity in 48 hours
4G/5G bonded connections and WiFi mesh for site cabins, portakabins, and welfare units — live before your team arrives, with no waiting for Openreach.
Cyber Essentials for supply chains
CE and CE+ certification — now required by most main contractors and government frameworks. Managed end-to-end in 2–4 weeks, 100% first-time pass rate.
One helpdesk, every site
Head office and every active project site on a single helpdesk with consistent security — new sites stood up fast, completed sites decommissioned cleanly.

AI and digital technology
for construction companies
Construction is being transformed by AI and digital tools — from Microsoft 365 Copilot automating tender document drafting and meeting summaries, to Power BI dashboards giving commercial directors real-time project cost visibility. Coreitech helps construction firms adopt these technologies safely, without disrupting live projects.
Microsoft 365 Copilot for construction enables site managers to draft progress reports in seconds, estimators to analyse tender documents faster, and finance teams to process subcontractor invoices more efficiently. We manage the data governance required for Copilot deployment in regulated or sensitive environments.
Power BI for construction connects your project management software, accounting systems, and site data into live dashboards — giving leadership the cost, programme, and risk visibility they need. We design, build, and maintain Power BI environments for construction businesses.

IT risks that cost construction
companies real money
Invoice fraud & payment diversion
Construction is heavily targeted for business email compromise (BEC) — fraudulent invoice interception and payment redirection. A single successful attack can cost hundreds of thousands. Email security and MFA are critical.
Ransomware during live projects
Ransomware timed to hit during a critical project phase maximises leverage. With multiple sites dependent on access to drawings and project management software, downtime has direct cost implications. Backups and endpoint protection are essential.
Supply chain Cyber Essentials requirements
Failure to achieve Cyber Essentials when required by a main contractor or government client can result in exclusion from tender processes or contract termination. Many construction firms are losing work to this requirement.
Site data access failure
Site teams losing access to BIM models, drawings, or project management systems mid-project causes rework, delays, and cost overruns. Reliable connectivity and cloud-first architecture prevent this scenario.
What construction businesses say
about Coreitech
"Coreitech had 4G bonded routers running in our site cabin within 24 hours of us calling. No other IT company we spoke to could do that. They also sorted our Cyber Essentials certification in 3 weeks — which was a condition of our main contractor supply chain agreement."
"They understand Procore and BIM 360 in a way our previous IT company simply didn't. When our Revit workstations were slowing down mid-project, they diagnosed and fixed the storage bottleneck within a couple of hours."
"The Microsoft 365 Copilot deployment they did has genuinely changed how our estimating team works. Tender summaries that used to take half a day now take 20 minutes. The data governance setup they insisted on has also made our leadership more confident about AI adoption."

IT for construction companies —
questions answered
Q.What IT support do construction companies need?
Construction firms have unique IT requirements that generic IT companies don't understand: reliable connectivity across multiple simultaneous project sites (often with no fixed broadband), mobile workforce management for site teams using tablets and rugged devices, support for specialist BIM software (Autodesk Revit, BIM 360, Procore, Viewpoint), securing sensitive tender documents and project data, and Cyber Essentials certification increasingly required by main contractors and government clients. Coreitech provides managed IT built specifically for these construction industry demands.
Q.Can you provide internet connectivity to a construction site?
Yes. We deploy 4G/5G bonded connections, temporary fibre where available, and WiFi mesh networks across site cabins, portakabins, and welfare facilities — typically within 24–48 hours using 4G bonding routers. No waiting for Openreach installs. This covers project offices, site huts, and welfare units. For remote sites with poor 4G, we provide satellite backup solutions. Monthly rental options mean no long-term contracts tied to a specific project.
Q.Do you support BIM software like Autodesk Revit and Procore?
Yes. Coreitech provides IT infrastructure support for all major BIM and construction project management platforms — Autodesk Revit, BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Navisworks, Procore, Viewpoint (Trimble), Aconex (Oracle), and Bluebeam Revu. This includes workstation specification and optimisation for large BIM models, cloud rendering support, large file storage and sharing infrastructure, and ensuring connectivity is fast enough for real-time BIM collaboration. BIM Level 2 is mandatory for government projects — we ensure your IT infrastructure meets the requirements.
Q.How do you secure sensitive project data (BIM models, drawings, tenders)?
We use Microsoft 365 SharePoint with granular permissions and conditional access policies to control who can access which project data. Combined with Intune MDM (so only managed devices can access corporate data), Microsoft Defender for Business, and email security filtering, sensitive project documents are protected whether accessed from the head office or a remote site cabin. For particularly sensitive contracts or tender processes, we implement document sensitivity labelling and data loss prevention (DLP) policies.
Q.Is Cyber Essentials required for construction supply chains?
Yes — and this requirement is spreading fast. Most major main contractors now require Cyber Essentials (or CE+) certification from their supply chain as a condition of contract. Government construction frameworks (including Tier 1 and Tier 2 contracts) effectively mandate it. CITB and other industry bodies are also increasing their security expectations. Coreitech manages the entire process — gap assessment, remediation, submission, and annual renewal — typically within 2–4 weeks for most construction businesses.
Q.How much does IT support cost for a construction company?
Managed IT support for construction companies typically costs £35–£65 per user per month for a comprehensive package. A 25-person construction business (head office team) might pay £900–£1,600/month covering unlimited helpdesk, on-site engineers, Microsoft 365 management, patch management, cyber security tools, and 24/7 monitoring. Site connectivity is typically priced separately per site per month. We provide transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden charges.
Q.Can you support multiple project sites simultaneously?
Yes. Coreitech manages IT across multiple simultaneous project sites for construction clients. We provide centralised device management, consistent security policies, a single helpdesk for both site and office teams, and remote monitoring of all connected sites. When a new project starts, we can deploy connectivity and IT infrastructure to the site office within 24–48 hours. When a project completes, we decommission and redeploy cleanly.
Q.Do you provide IT support for subcontractors as well as main contractors?
Yes. We provide IT support for both main contractors and specialist subcontractors — electrical, M&E, groundworks, fit-out, and civil engineering businesses. Subcontractors often need Cyber Essentials certification to meet main contractor supply chain requirements, plus reliable site connectivity and mobile device management. We have packages scaled for smaller specialist contractors as well as larger head office environments.
Q.Can you deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot for a construction company?
Yes. Microsoft 365 Copilot can transform construction workflows — automating tender document summaries, generating progress reports, producing meeting notes from Teams calls, and connecting commercial data for faster decision-making. Coreitech manages the full Copilot deployment process: reviewing SharePoint permissions, implementing sensitivity labelling to protect tender and client data, and then activating Copilot with appropriate governance. We also advise on Power BI integration for real-time project dashboards.
Q.What is the best IT support company for construction businesses in the UK?
The best IT support for construction companies combines: specialist knowledge of BIM software (Revit, BIM 360, Procore, Navisworks), the ability to deploy 4G/5G site connectivity within 24–48 hours, Cyber Essentials certification support with a 100% first-time pass rate, centralised multi-site IT management, and transparent fixed pricing. Coreitech provides all of this — from £35/user/month — with a contractual 15-minute critical response SLA and on-site engineers across London and the UK.
