Managed IT Services for Construction Companies

For those in the construction industry, it might be tempting to ignore the need for information technology management. In the past, this was definitely true. However, the modern world has made the construction business far more complex than ever before. From planning to completion, computer systems now play a huge role in these companies. Whether it’s a database of CAD files or records of your company’s financial transactions, the management of data is best left to the professionals.

IT Support for Construction Companies

While some companies choose to use one of their people for these IT jobs, a construction company is not the right kind of business for that. Usually, the kinds of people who work in construction are hands-on people whose expertise lies in physical matters. You can’t reasonably expect to find a computer genius on the jobsite, but you can certainly find them working among the good people at PCH Technologies.

One of the best uses for an IT system (in this industry) is safety compliance. Working with heavy equipment (and sometimes even explosives) is an inherently risky business. Worst of all, it might take only one negligent person to cause a complete and utter disaster. That’s where an IT-based safety monitoring system can come in very handy indeed. It is one of the best ways to avoid the risk of accidents, which often result in injury, death, property damage and/or expensive lawsuits.

An IT company can also help you to stay in closer touch with your customers. By integrating everything into a smartphone app, you can give your customers an easy way to get in touch with you and receive an update at any time. It is important to keep your clients happy, and any investors who are involved in the project might also want an update from time to time.

Instead of taking the time to call them one by one, you can send out group messages via the app, along with all the relevant metrics that they want and need to see.

Why the Construction Industry Needs IT Services

The construction industry continues to embrace new technologies that facilitate more efficient processes and increase productivity. Competent IT professionals must manage and support these technologies to ensure they continuously function at their best. Hiring a partner to help you manage your systems can elevate your operations.

Here are some of the reasons why managed IT support for the construction sector is crucial:

Access to industry-leading technology: The best technology in the market can make a huge difference in the quality of your output. For example, you need efficient collaboration tools for seamless team collaboration and coordination to complete projects on time. PCH can provide your company with the IT solutions to keep your construction projects running smoothly.
Compliance: Construction companies must comply with specific industry regulations, such as building codes and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. Tracking all the necessary rules can be overwhelming for you as a construction manager. IT professionals use specific tools to track compliance and ensure you avoid penalties and mitigate risks.
Data security: Construction companies handle confidential data on behalf of their clients, such as architectural plans, financial details and personal contact information. Managed IT support ensures this data is secure.
Prevent downtime: Downtime in the construction industry can be financially devastating and may put your reputation at stake. You need IT professionals to provide instant solutions when things go wrong. We offer on-demand IT support and routine maintenance to help you combat unplanned downtime.

Advanced IT services empower construction companies to handle complex tasks easily and precisely. To be a modern construction company that is productive and efficient, you need reliable IT support services.

Managed IT Services in Construction

Managed Security Services for Construction Companies

As we already mentioned, a smartphone app can be a great way to keep all of your customers and employees on the same page. However, those who really want to maximize their company’s coordination should consider the use of our cloud computing services. Construction sites tend to be dirty, and there is often little shelter from the weather.

As such, computers and other electronic devices can have some trouble at worksites. By putting everything in the cloud, you ensure that all your information is neatly organized and cataloged without the need for a single on-site computer. You can use a single smartphone or tablet to keep track of everything, and these are much easier to protect from the weather.

For automated processes, this kind of thing is even more important. A robust and well-designed interface is the best way to keep tabs on your automated systems. Cloud computing provides that, and this can be a great thing in the event of a malfunction. When something goes wrong with an automated process, a horrendous amount of damage can result. The longer the problem goes uncorrected, the worse it is likely to be.

So, unless you want to pay someone to monitor those automated systems every day, you will need to set up an automated monitoring system. The experts at PCH Technologies can set up such a system, which will immediately alert a supervisor if something goes wrong. This is not a particularly difficult thing to achieve with the right people on your side, but it can be a very daunting task for those who don’t have our extensive experience.

Consider the planning, engineering and design necessary before breaking ground on a new project — IT plays a critical role in streamlining these processes and enhancing the industry. Explore some of the top ways construction professionals leverage IT below:

Building information modeling (BIM): BIM tools create intelligent building construction models by combining designs with contextually relevant data. The models can then be used in all phases of the construction process to boost efficiency. BIM is now a requirement in some large-scale commercial projects.
3D printing: 3D printing has opened creative possibilities in the construction sector and has the potential to mitigate waste.
Drones: Drones conduct site surveys faster and more accurately than a crew on the ground. They’re also used to safely inspect and navigate hard-to-reach places such as bridges and tall building structures.
Cloud migration: One way to bridge communication gaps in your company is to migrate your essential communication pieces to the cloud. Cloud-based platforms ensure that users can access the information they need when they need it.
Cybersecurity: While technologies are helpful and can boost productivity and efficiency, they open organizations to various vulnerabilities through cyber threats. The right cybersecurity technologies can prevent, detect and manage cyber threats and cyberattacks. Working with a managed construction IT services provider who understands the potential threats in the industry and has the right tools and skills to deal with the challenges is crucial for your success.

Disaster Recovery Services For Construction Companies

Data loss is always a problem for any computer system. Still, a well-designed and stable system will have a much lower risk for this problem. If it does occur, PCH is the company to call. Data recovery is one of those processes that require a precise hand. If a non-professional attempts this task, they are likely to make the problem worse. Computers are constantly writing and overwriting data, so every wasted action equals more and more data loss.

When you need your data back fully and quickly, the only thing to do is shut down the whole system. Don’t let anyone access the affected machines (or the cloud) until one of our trained professionals can fix it with the surgical precision for which we are known. If a physical disaster occurs, an IT company can help you to manage the problem and correct the damage in a more efficient way.
