Overview

Why Construction Need Specialized IT

Construction companies face unique IT challenges that most traditional MSPs don't understand. Remote job sites need reliable internet. Field crews need access to blueprints, schedules, and daily logs from anywhere. Project managers need real-time data across multiple sites.

At the same time, construction is increasingly targeted by cybercriminals — ransomware attacks on construction companies tripled in the past two years, often targeting project files and financial data held for ransom during critical project phases.

Click One MSP specializes in IT solutions that work in the real world of construction — rugged, reliable, and secure.

Challenges

IT Challenges Facing Construction

Job Site Connectivity

Remote and temporary job sites often lack reliable internet. Project apps, video conferencing, and cloud-based tools all require stable, fast connectivity.

Mobile Workforce Management

Field crews, superintendents, and project managers work from different locations daily. Devices need to be managed, secured, and supported wherever they are.

Project Data Security

Bids, contracts, blueprints, and financial data are high-value targets. Ransomware that locks project files during a critical phase can cost millions in delays.

Subcontractor Collaboration

Construction relies on subcontractor access to shared systems. Managing access permissions for temporary partners creates ongoing security challenges.

Case Study

How We Kept a $40M Project On Schedule After a Ransomware Attack

The Situation

A mid-size general contractor was hit with ransomware that encrypted their entire Procore dataset, project files, and accounting system during a critical project phase with $40M in active contracts.

Our Response

Our immutable backup system — deployed during onboarding — maintained clean copies of all project data. We isolated the infected systems, restored from backup, and had the contractor fully operational within 8 hours. No ransom was paid.

The Result

All projects continued on schedule. Zero data was lost. The contractor's insurance carrier cited our incident response as exemplary, resulting in a 15% premium reduction.
