IT support for construction companies and contractors in South Texas.
Your office is wherever the job is. Plans live on laptops and tablets, bids move by email, crews coordinate by phone — and the money moves by wire, which is exactly where construction firms get robbed. We keep builders and contractors connected, organized, and protected, from the main office to the job-site trailer.
What we handle for construction firms
Payment-diversion fraud protection.
The construction-specific scam works like this: someone compromises an email account — yours, a vendor’s, a title company’s — watches the payment threads, then sends a convincing “updated wiring instructions” message at exactly the right moment. The money goes, and it doesn’t come back. We harden the defenses that stop it: MFA on every mailbox, email authentication so your domain can’t be spoofed, and monitoring that flags a mailbox being watched or quietly forwarded.
Plans, bids, and the version problem.
Drawings, specs, submittals, change orders — and three versions of each, in four places, with the crew building off the wrong one. We set up organized, backed-up file access your office and field can actually share, so the current set is the one everyone sees.
Estimating and accounting systems.
Your estimating platform and your accounting software run the business side of every job. We keep the workstations, network, and backups behind them maintained and monitored, and coordinate with your software vendors when an issue is on their side — including multi-entity setups as firms grow.
Job-site connectivity and field devices.
Trailers that need internet, crews on phones and tablets, superintendents pulling plans from the truck. We help get sites connected and keep field devices set up, secured, and accounted for — so a lost phone is a replacement, not a data problem.
Growing firms outgrow “the office computer”
Most contractors’ IT grows the way the company did — one piece at a time. A second entity here, a new office there, project files split between the office server, the owner’s laptop, and somebody’s personal cloud account. It works, right up until a bid goes missing, a payment gets diverted, or the one computer with everything on it dies during a deadline.
Managed IT turns that accumulation into a system: monitored computers, files organized and backed up with tested restores, accounts created and closed as crews change, and one number to call when something breaks — answered by people who already know your setup.
Signs your firm needs managed IT
- Payment instructions move by email with no verification step — and no technical controls behind them
- Nobody’s certain which drawing set is current, or where it lives
- Project files and bids sit on one machine, and the backup has never been test-restored
- Ex-employees and finished subs still have access to email or files
- Multiple entities or offices, each improvising its own IT
- The owner or office manager has become the IT department
Pricing for construction firms
$150–$300 per seat, per month — security included in the plan, not sold as an add-on. Your exact price is confirmed in writing before you commit to anything. See what managed IT actually costs for a 20-person company, including the all-in math.
The $495 Network & Risk Assessment
We don’t guess about a network we haven’t looked at, and we don’t do free audits that are really sales calls. For a fixed $495, we examine your network, email security, backups, and who has access to what — and deliver a written findings report: what’s solid, what’s exposed, and what to fix first.
The report is yours either way — hand it to whoever you choose. If you sign a managed agreement within 30 days, the full $495 is credited toward your onboarding, so the assessment costs you nothing.
What the report covers
- Email security — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MFA coverage
- Endpoint protection status on every computer
- Backup coverage — and when a restore was last tested
- Access review — including accounts of people who’ve left
- A prioritized fix list in plain business language

Frequently asked questions
How does payment-diversion fraud actually happen — and what stops it?
An attacker gets into an email account (often with a phished password), watches real payment conversations, then sends a believable message changing the wiring instructions. What stops it: MFA so a stolen password isn’t enough, email authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) so your domain can’t be impersonated, mailbox monitoring for hidden forwarding rules, and a firm habit of verifying any payment change by phone. We put the technical half in place and verify it.
Can you support our job sites and field crews?
Yes — trailer connectivity, field laptops, phones, and tablets are part of the environment we set up and secure. Most support is handled remotely; on-site help is available across the Coastal Bend.
We run multiple entities / offices. Is that a problem?
No — it’s common as firms grow, and it’s usually where the file and access chaos starts. We organize accounts, files, and backups across entities so each company’s data stays straight and protected.
Do you work with our estimating / accounting software?
We support the environment those systems run in — workstations, network, backups, and access — and coordinate with your software vendors when an issue is inside their application.
What does the $495 Network & Risk Assessment involve?
We review your network, email security, backups, and account access, then deliver a written findings report with a prioritized fix list — yours to keep either way. For contractors it includes a specific look at your payment-email exposure. Sign a managed agreement within 30 days and the full $495 is credited toward onboarding. Call (361) 315-0017 to schedule.
