Alienstech IT support for Construction
Contractors running an office, a yard and several job sites, where the connectivity is the hard part.
Construction is the industry where the office is the easy bit. Job sites need connectivity that can be set up and taken down, field staff need access to plans and photos from a phone or tablet, and the yard often has coverage problems the office never sees.
Project management, estimating and accounting software all need to work from the field as well as the desk, and the file sizes involved in drawings and photos make bandwidth and storage a real consideration rather than an afterthought.
Work here tends to cover temporary site connectivity, wireless that reaches the yard and shop, cloud file access that does not depend on someone being at a desk, and mobile device handling for equipment that lives in a truck.
What usually brings people in
- Job sites need internet before permanent service exists
- Field staff cannot reach current drawings from site
- Wireless does not reach the yard or the shop
- Large drawing and photo files are slow to sync
- Devices get damaged, lost or left in vehicles
- Several software packages do not talk to each other
