IT Support Built for
Construction Firms
That Never Stop Moving
Construction firms operate across dozens of sites, juggle massive project files, manage sensitive contracts, and run on tight margins where downtime costs thousands per hour. Generic IT support wasn't built for this. Foxcomm was.
What keeps construction IT managers awake
The IT Challenges Only Construction Firms Face
Construction is one of the most complex IT environments in any sector — distributed teams, remote sites with poor connectivity, massive CAD and BIM files, and a supply chain that never stops. Generic IT support breaks under this pressure.
Multi-Site & Remote Working Complexity
Your teams are spread across head office, live construction sites, and client locations simultaneously. Every user needs secure, reliable access to the same systems — whether they're on a 1Gbps office connection or a 4G hotspot on a building site in Essex.
Massive BIM & CAD File Management
BIM models, AutoCAD drawings, and project documentation run into the gigabytes per project. Your IT infrastructure needs the storage capacity, transfer speeds, and version control to keep multiple teams working on the same files without conflicts or data loss.
Contract & Tender Confidentiality
Live tender bids, contract values, and subcontractor pricing are among the most commercially sensitive documents your business holds. A leak to a competitor — through a phishing attack, misconfigured sharing, or a departing employee — can cost you a major contract.
Mobile Workforce Device Management
Site managers, surveyors, and project managers are always on the move with laptops, tablets, and phones. Managing, securing, and supporting dozens of devices across multiple locations — without them becoming a security liability — requires specialist MDM expertise.
Legacy Systems & Software Integration
Construction firms often run a complex stack — COINS, Procore, Viewpoint, Sage, AutoCAD — that needs to communicate reliably. Poorly integrated systems create data silos, duplicate entry, and costly errors. Foxcomm architects integrations that actually work on site.
Ransomware Risk Is Rising Fast
Construction is now one of the top five most targeted sectors for ransomware in the UK. Project data and contractual deadlines make firms highly likely to pay. Without immutable backups and tested incident response, one attack can halt an entire project programme.
What we deliver
Managed IT Services Built for Construction Businesses
Every service is pre-configured for the realities of construction — remote sites, large files, mobile teams, and complex software stacks. We don't adapt generic packages. We build for how you actually work.
Multi-Site Network & Connectivity
We design and manage secure, high-performance network infrastructure across your head office, satellite offices, and active construction sites. SD-WAN, 4G/5G failover, encrypted site-to-site VPN, and VLAN segmentation — so every location performs like a fully connected office.
BIM & Large File Infrastructure
We provision and manage high-capacity storage, fast file transfer systems, and cloud collaboration platforms optimised for BIM, CAD, and large project files. Version control, access permissions per project, and automated backups so no drawing is ever lost or overwritten.
Mobile Device Management (MDM)
We enrol, configure, and manage every device your mobile workforce uses — laptops, tablets, smartphones, and ruggedised site devices. Remote wipe on loss or theft, enforced encryption, app management, and automatic OS patching — all from a central console.
Construction Cyber Security
Ransomware protection, endpoint detection and response, email threat filtering, and dark web monitoring — all tuned for construction sector attack patterns. We also run phishing simulation training so your site managers and project teams can spot a fraudulent email before it costs you.
Microsoft 365 for Construction
We manage M365 configurations built for construction workflows — Teams for site communication, SharePoint project document libraries with permission structures that match your project hierarchy, Power BI dashboards pulling from your ERP, and Planner for task management across sites.
24/7 Helpdesk — 15-Minute Response
Construction doesn't stop at 5pm — neither do we. Pre-pour checks, late-night tender submissions, early-morning site starts — whenever your team needs support, our UK-based helpdesk is available with a guaranteed 15-minute response and on-site engineers available across London and the South East.
Standards & compliance
The Standards Your IT Must Support
Construction firms face a growing web of data security, health & safety documentation, and supply chain compliance requirements. Foxcomm ensures your IT infrastructure actively supports — not undermines — your obligations.
- ✓
UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018
Construction firms hold employee records, subcontractor data, and client information subject to UK GDPR. We embed Article 32 technical security measures and support breach notification within the mandatory 72-hour ICO window.
- ✓
Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus
Increasingly required by public sector clients and Tier 1 contractors as a condition of contract. We prepare, implement, and manage your Cyber Essentials Plus certification — and keep you certified year on year.
- ✓
ISO 27001 Supply Chain Requirements
Main contractors working with ISO 27001-certified clients are increasingly required to demonstrate equivalent security standards in their supply chain. Foxcomm's own ISO 27001 certification supports your supply chain compliance position.
- ✓
BIM Level 2 & Digital Construction Standards
Government-mandated BIM Level 2 compliance requires specific data management and security controls. We configure your document management infrastructure to meet PAS 1192 and ISO 19650 requirements for public sector projects.
- ✓
Health & Safety Documentation Security
RAMS, method statements, site induction records, and incident logs must be securely stored, version-controlled, and accessible on demand. We manage infrastructure that keeps these documents protected, auditable, and retrievable for HSE inspection.

Common questions
Frequently Asked by Construction Firms
Can you provide IT support directly on construction sites?
Yes. We have engineers available for on-site support across London and the South East. For remote sites, we can provision and pre-configure hardware that your site managers can install themselves, with remote support walking them through every step.
How do you handle connectivity on sites with poor broadband?
We design site connectivity solutions using 4G/5G routers, bonded mobile connections, and SD-WAN failover so your site teams always have reliable access — even where fixed-line broadband is unavailable or unreliable. We've connected sites in some of the most remote locations in the UK.
Can you support our BIM software and CAD tools?
Yes. We have experience supporting Autodesk, Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and Bentley environments. We configure workstations, GPU specifications, storage infrastructure, and collaboration platforms to meet the demands of BIM Level 2 workflows.
We use COINS / Procore / Viewpoint for project management. Can you integrate these?
Yes. We regularly support COINS, Procore, Viewpoint, Causeway, and Sage 200 environments. We ensure these systems are securely hosted, properly backed up, and integrated with your Microsoft 365 environment to eliminate duplicate data entry.
What happens if we have an IT emergency during a live pour or critical deadline?
You call our 24/7 helpdesk and a qualified engineer responds within 15 minutes — guaranteed. For critical site infrastructure failures, we have an escalated response protocol and can dispatch an on-site engineer same day across London and the South East.
We're growing fast and taking on new sites regularly. Can you scale with us?
Absolutely — this is where Foxcomm excels. We provision new site connectivity, devices, and user accounts within 48 hours of request. Our infrastructure is designed to scale with your project pipeline so IT is never the bottleneck to winning or starting new work.
