How we support the Construction & Civil Engineering sector
Scalable Cloud Infrastructure
BITS will seamlessly migrate your systems to platforms like Microsoft Azure, providing on-demand scalability and reducing reliance on aging on-site servers.
This means your site managers, engineers, and office staff can collaborate in real-time without IT bottlenecks, even as your projects grow across multiple locations.
Reliable Site Connectivity
BITS delivers enterprise-grade internet via fibre, 4G/5G, or even satellite links (Starlink) to keep your teams online . Field crews in site offices can access cloud apps, BIM/CAD files, and email as if they were at HQ.
We also integrate unified communication tools (like Microsoft Teams) so that subcontractors, site managers, and head office stay seamlessly connected and make faster decisions.
Cybersecurity & Data Protection
We implement multi-layered security, from firewalls and encrypted backups to employee training, to shield your intellectual property and project data.
Our proactive monitoring and rapid incident response keep your plans, contracts, and client information safe, preventing breaches that could halt work or damage your reputation.
Collaborative Project Management Tools
BITS deploys and configures industry-leading platforms like Microsoft 365 and project-specific tools for scheduling, task management, and file sharing.
This ensures site managers, subcontractors, and office staff work from the same up-to-date documents, minimising costly miscommunication and rework.
Onsite IT Support & Rapid Field Deployment
BITS can dispatch field technicians to rapidly set up networks, diagnose hardware issues, and ensure your teams can stay productive.
Our local presence and construction-industry know-how help prevent IT mishaps, reduce downtime, and keep projects on schedule.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
We design backup and recovery solutions that safeguard critical data from final drawings to client contracts.
In the event of hardware failure or natural disaster, your teams can quickly resume work with minimal disruption, preserving client trust and project momentum.
Case Study
In a recent project, a Queensland construction firm renowned for complex civil works struggled with outdated tech that hampered communication and drove up IT costs.
BITS overhauled its environment with a cloud-based Azure Virtual Desktop solution, instantly improving collaboration across sites and significantly reducing IT expenses.
The result was a more efficient workforce with real-time data access, stronger data security controls, and a scalable platform for future growth.

FAQ
What IT services do construction companies need?
Construction firms need reliable site connectivity, secure networks, cloud platforms, and managed support. These solutions keep project teams efficient, protect sensitive data, and reduce costly downtime.
How does managed IT help site-based teams?
Managed IT ensures field crews get secure remote access, reliable connectivity, and real-time collaboration tools. IT providers like BITS, with expertise in the Construction and Civil Engineering sector, can also advise and procure equipment and devices suitable for a job site’s rugged conditions. This reduces delays, speeds up data sharing, and frees staff to focus on project delivery.
What are common cybersecurity risks in construction?
Ransomware, phishing, and weak access controls top the list. Unpatched software and legacy systems create further vulnerabilities. Robust firewalls, backups, and ongoing staff training help prevent breaches.
How can cloud computing benefit construction companies?
Cloud solutions centralise data, enable remote collaboration, and scale as projects grow. They reduce hardware costs, strengthen security, and streamline real-time project updates across multiple job sites.
How do construction companies ensure reliable connectivity on construction sites?
Portable 4G/5G kits, satellite services (like Starlink), and rugged networking hardware deliver stable internet in remote locations. Secure connections let teams share data instantly and manage projects in real-time.
Why should construction firms outsource IT to an MSP?
A Managed Service Provider offers specialised support, proactive monitoring, and cost savings over in-house IT. It lets construction leaders focus on building, not troubleshooting, while ensuring top-tier security.
How can technology help prevent delays in construction projects?
Real-time collaboration tools instantly update plans, IoT sensors predict maintenance, and secure backups protect vital data. Combined, these technologies reduce downtime, keep teams aligned, and avoid costly delays.
How can construction companies future-proof their IT systems?
Upgrading to scalable cloud platforms, adopting BIM and mobile tools, and implementing robust cybersecurity measures help firms stay agile. Regularly reviewing systems ensures technology evolves alongside project demands.
