IT That Works From the Office to the Job Site
Construction companies work across offices, job-site trailers and active sites. Project managers, superintendents and estimators need plans, schedules and email on laptops, tablets and phones wherever they are, and the office depends on accounting, estimating and project management software to keep jobs on budget.
TechStarters Inc. provides managed IT services for construction companies and contractors nationwide, with offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York. We support devices in the field, secure access to plans and project files, and keep office systems running so crews and project managers stay connected.
How We Support Construction Companies
Devices and Access in the Field
Tablets and laptops on a job site are dropped, lost and shared more often than office computers. We set them up with secure sign-in, keep them updated and remove access promptly when a device is lost or an employee leaves, which limits what a lost tablet can expose.
We set up shared storage for plans and project files, such as SharePoint in Microsoft 365, so the field and the office work from the same current version. Our onboarding and offboarding checklist covers the account steps for seasonal and project-based staff.
Protecting Payments and Project Data
Construction companies send large payments to subcontractors and suppliers, which makes them a target for payment fraud: an email that appears to come from a supplier asks to change bank details before a payment. Multi-factor authentication on every account and a call-back rule for any change to payment details stop many of these attempts.
We also keep backups of accounting data, estimates and project files separate from your network and test restores. See our small business cybersecurity checklist and our guide to ransomware protection for businesses.
Planning Technology Around Your Projects
New jobs, new trailers and new hires arrive on a project schedule. Planning devices, accounts and connectivity before a job starts avoids delays on the first day, and a replacement plan keeps aging laptops and servers from failing mid-project. See our IT budget planning guide.
Owners, general contractors and insurers increasingly ask about security, such as multi-factor authentication and backups. Our cyber insurance requirements checklist covers the most common questions.

Construction IT FAQs
Can you support our project management and estimating software?
Yes. We support the devices, accounts and network your project management, estimating and accounting software depend on, and we coordinate with the software vendor when an issue involves their application.
Can you set up technology for a new job-site trailer?
Yes. We plan the firewall, Wi-Fi and devices for a new trailer before the job starts and set them up remotely or, near our offices in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York, on site. Internet service comes from your carrier, and we coordinate with them.
What happens if a tablet or laptop is lost on a job site?
Report it to our help desk. We reset the sign-in of the person who used it, remove its access to company email and files and set up a replacement.
Do you support seasonal and project-based staff?
Yes. New staff get the accounts and devices they need for the job, and access is removed when they leave. Managed IT is priced per device, so costs follow the equipment you use.
