Innovative construction IT services:
Bridging technology with infrastructure
Construction companies rely heavily on having readily accessible IT systems for real-time collaboration and overall project management. However, reliable connectivity is often challenging for construction companies running multiple job sites. If your construction site crew cannot access blueprints, email, project plans, or collaborative tools like Teams or Zoom, you run the risk of costly downtime, project delays, and missed deadlines. And without a trusted IT company overseeing your network security, the threat of data loss and cyberattacks increases, leaving your company open to hefty fines, reputational damage, and potential lawsuits. We offer innovative solutions for our construction clients, including data backup, file sharing, private cloud-hosted applications, hosted and remotely accessible phone systems, and mobile device management. Your business goals are our business goals: to overcome the unique challenges and create a more cohesive platform in which your widely dispersed team can collaborate seamlessly for increased productivity.

Construction-specific compliance
If your business uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, adherence to standards like ISO 19650 is crucial for data management and security.
Even if your construction company doesn’t work with the DOD or employ BIM software, there are general business best practices you should follow to ensure network security. A managed services provider that specializes in construction IT services can guide you to ensure your construction company is protecting sensitive data, has proper access controls, policies and procedures, and has a documented incidence response plan. Employee training, regular risk assessments, and third-party assessments will help mitigate the risks associated with non-compliance, enabling you to focus on what you do best.
Construction security
Regular updates and patching, proactive network monitoring, penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, mobile device management, data backup and disaster recovery plans, security awareness training for staff, and access controls greatly reduce the risk of cyber threats and data loss and lead to increased productivity. Our team of IT professionals will work with you to map out a solid cybersecurity roadmap so you can focus on business goals.
Construction software applications
We’ve helped countless construction companies seamlessly integrate the tools and technologies they use to run a profitable business including Building Information Modeling (BIM) software (BIM 360, Bluebeam, Sketchup), collaboration tools (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack, 3CX), project management and scheduling tools (Procore, Smartsheet), estimating and cost management software (PlanSwift), Enterprise Resource Planning systems (Timberline, QuickBooks, ComputerEase), quality control applications (PlanGrid, Fieldwire), and asset management software (Magicplan).

How does Building Information Modeling (BIM) software benefit a construction project?
Modern construction companies are adopting BIM technology to manage the build process more effectively and efficiently by catching clashes early on. It allows for a better understanding of the construction project and helps improve communication and collaboration between all stakeholders. If your construction company is considering utilizing BIM software, MIS can help vet the vendor through the lens of connected risk. We’ll seek to understand what you are trying to accomplish, then ask the vendor pointed and tailored questions to determine their security and compliance posture. Thorough vetting enables our clients to engage in vendor partnerships that align with strict security and compliance standards.
What is the role of cloud computing in construction?
Our private Greenlight Cloud solution allows our construction and engineering clients to extend their IT environments beyond the office and into the field. Wherever your team works, they’ll be able to access email, core applications, project plans, blueprints, and change orders. Cloud solutions allow for real-time collaboration for improved productivity.
What are the best practices for managing IT in remote construction sites?
Using a hosted desktop like our private Greenlight Cloud allows for efficient access to data from anywhere. You want to secure your endpoints to protect against unwanted delays or data loss. Be sure your staff undergoes security awareness training so they are aware of cyber threats and can avoid falling victim to a cyberattack. Mobile device management is key for construction companies to guard against lost, stolen, or damaged devices.
What are the regulations affecting IT in construction?
Data protection and cybersecurity compliance, including standards like the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), are becoming more relevant with the increasing use of technology in construction. Construction and engineering companies that work with the U.S. Department of Defense are required to work within the CMMC requirements. Other guidelines, although not mandatory, include ISO 19650, which addresses information and data management throughout the lifecycle of the project; Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) for effective project management; ISO/IEC 25010 to ensure quality and reliability; and ISO 55000 to ensure effective asset management practices.
