Keeping Your Projects Connected, From Office to Site
Construction businesses face IT challenges that most other sectors don’t. Your workforce is split between a head office, temporary project sites and mobile teams in the field. Your projects depend on real-time access to drawings, specifications and project management platforms. Your site teams need reliable connectivity in locations where traditional broadband simply isn’t available.
Blowfish Technology understands the operational realities of construction. We provide IT support that connects your entire operation – from head office infrastructure to site connectivity, mobile device management and the project management software your teams rely on.
We work with contractors, subcontractors and developers across the North West – supporting Procore, Viewpoint, Sage 200 Construction, Causeway and other construction-specific platforms – and we understand the supply chain security requirements that larger clients increasingly place on their contractors.
Site Connectivity Challenges
Project sites are often in locations without fixed-line broadband. Without reliable connectivity, site teams can’t access drawings, update project management systems or communicate effectively.
Mobile Device Management
Site teams using smartphones and tablets for project management create significant security risks if those devices aren’t properly managed, enrolled and protected.
Invoice Fraud and BEC
Construction businesses regularly process large payments for materials, plant and subcontractor invoices – making them a prime target for business email compromise and invoice fraud.
Supply Chain Security Requirements
Main contractors and public sector clients increasingly require Cyber Essentials certification from their supply chain. Without it, you may be excluded from tender processes.
Project Data and IP Protection
Drawings, specifications, tender documents and project financials represent significant commercial IP. Losing them to a breach or ransomware attack is catastrophic.

Common questions
IT Support for Construction – FAQs
How do you provide internet connectivity on a project site?
We deploy 4G and 5G bonded router solutions that provide reliable site connectivity without requiring a fixed-line broadband installation. These can be set up quickly at the start of a project and moved to the next site when needed. For longer-term sites, we can also arrange temporary fixed-line installations.
Can you manage mobile phones and tablets for our site teams?
Yes – we enrol all devices into Microsoft Intune, applying security policies, enabling remote wipe and controlling which applications can be installed. This ensures your business data is protected on every device and that lost or stolen devices can be wiped remotely.
We need Cyber Essentials for a main contractor – how quickly can we get certified?
For most construction businesses, Cyber Essentials certification can be achieved within 4 to 6 weeks. We’ll assess your current environment, implement any required changes and guide you through the certification process with CyberSmart.
Can you support our Procore or project management software?
Yes – we support the infrastructure that your project management software runs on and work alongside your software vendor for application-level issues. We ensure your systems are reliably backed up and that your team can access them securely from site or office.
