IT Services for Construction Companies in Oregon

Construction runs on technology, and almost nobody in construction calls it that.

You have plans on a tablet. Hours going in on a phone. Estimating software on the office computer. An accounting program that has to line up with all of it. None of that feels like technology while you are doing it. It feels like the job.

Then something stops working, and the whole day gets expensive.

Here is what we actually handle for construction and trades companies in the Willamette Valley, in plain terms.

What we take off your plate

Email, accounts, and new hires

Every person you hire needs an email account, a login, and access to the right files. Every person who leaves needs all of it shut off.

We run that on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Setup, the new guy in March, and the shutoff in November.

This is the piece most owners are still doing themselves at ten at night.

Keeping the computers and phones current

Machines need updates, and updates get skipped when everybody is busy. We manage that in the background so it happens whether anyone remembers or not.

We also run endpoint protection on every machine we manage. It watches for the things regular antivirus walks right past.

Passwords

A lot of small construction companies have one password shared by five people, written down somewhere. That works fine right up until somebody leaves on bad terms.

We set the company up with a password manager, get everybody moved onto it, and keep it from turning into one more thing you have to babysit.

Email fraud, which is the threat that actually shows up

The attack that hits contractors is not a movie hacker. It is an email that looks like it came from your supplier, with new bank details on the invoice.

We run email security that catches most of it before it lands, and we walk your office through what the rest looks like. Your bookkeeper is the last line on this one, so she should know what to watch for.

Backing up your project files

Plans, change orders, photos, submittals, contracts.

We set up automated backup for the files your business would hurt to lose, and we check on them so you are not finding out they failed on the day you need them. Read more about our data backup and recovery service.

Your office network and your other locations

Routers, switches, wifi, and the arguments with your internet provider.

If you run a shop and an office, or several yards, we handle the connections between them and keep them up. We support a client right now with dozens of separate locations, so more than one site is normal for us. See our network management service for more detail.

Somebody to call

Your office manager gets a real person on the phone.

So do your lead guys, if you would rather they call us than call you.

Dealing with your software vendors

When your project software and your accounting software stop agreeing, each one will blame the other.

We take that phone call. You do not need to spend a Tuesday on hold.

We run IT the way you run a job

You already know how this works, because it is how you build.

A general contractor does not swing every hammer on the site. He knows the whole job. He knows who is good. He makes sure the pieces fit together, and when the electrician and the plumber are about to fight over the same wall, he handles it before it ever reaches the owner.

That is how we run the technology side of a construction company. I hold the whole job. I know where every piece stands. You get one number to call and one person who is accountable for all of it.

You should not be the one keeping four vendors pointed in the same direction. That is the part you hired out.

Why construction companies work with us

I am in Albany and I work across the Willamette Valley. Close enough that showing up is a normal thing instead of an event.

I have worked in the field. I hold an active Oregon CCB license, number 252384. So when you tell me the guys will not use the new app, or that your change orders are living in a text thread, I know what you are describing.

You also get one person who knows your business, instead of a call center reading your account history back to you.

Pricing is a flat monthly rate, priced per person, so it does not spike the month you add a crew.

If you want IT support for a construction company in your city, we have pages for Albany, Salem, and Corvallis. You can also read more about data backup and recovery and network management.

Start with a conversation

Schedule a free assessment and we will go through what you have now. No quote, no contract talk.

If it turns out you are in decent shape already, I will tell you that. Not every company this size needs everything on this page, and I would rather you hear that from me than find out later.

If you want a place to start on your own, here are ten questions worth asking any IT company, including this one.
