IT Services for Construction Companies in Canada

Construction companies in Canada operate across distributed environments: head office, project sites, and field teams — all requiring reliable connectivity and access to project management, design, and accounting software. A Procore outage during a critical project milestone, or an AutoCAD file corrupted before a tender submission, has real financial consequences. Construction companies also handle sensitive bonding capacity documents and financial statements that require strict access controls. Outsource IT Canada provides IT support tailored to construction workflows: job-site connectivity, Procore and Buildertrend administration, AutoCAD/Revit workstation optimization, and secure document management.

Construction Project Management Software

• Procore — user provisioning, role configuration (Owner, GC, Subcontractor), mobile app support for field tablets, and integration with Sage 300 CRE and QuickBooks
• Buildertrend — residential construction management platform setup, customer portal configuration, and subcontractor access management
• CoConstruct — custom home builder platform support, client-facing portal management
• Acumatica Construction — cloud ERP integration and user provisioning for construction financials
• Sage 300 CRE (Timberline) — on-premise server management, database backup, and project cost reporting support

CAD and BIM Support

Design and engineering teams require high-performance workstations and properly licensed Autodesk software:

• AutoCAD: workstation specifications (minimum 32GB RAM, dedicated GPU), licensing management through Autodesk Account, and network license server administration
• Revit: high-performance workstation configuration, worksharing (central model/local model) server setup, and BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud integration
• Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC): multi-party collaboration configuration for GC-subcontractor BIM coordination
• Bluebeam Revu: PDF markup and collaboration platform for construction drawings — licensing and Studio Sessions configuration
• PlanGrid: field drawing management platform support for iOS/Android tablets

Job-Site Field Connectivity

Reliable internet connectivity at construction sites is critical for Procore updates, drawing access, and remote communication. Our field connectivity solutions:

• 4G/5G LTE routers: rugged, weatherproof cellular routers (Cradlepoint, Peplink) for immediate job-site connectivity without ISP installation delays
• Bonded LTE: multiple cellular connections bonded together for higher throughput and failover on long-duration projects
• Site office Wi-Fi: rugged access points for site trailers, covering the immediate site office area
• Fiber or cable broadband: ISP coordination for permanent connectivity at extended projects where infrastructure is available
• Site-to-office VPN: encrypted tunnels so field staff access company file servers, Procore, and email securely from site

Sensitive Document Security

Construction companies handle documents with significant financial sensitivity: bonding capacity letters, surety financial statements, tender bonds, insurance certificates with coverage limits. Exposure of bonding capacity to competitors can impact competitive tendering. We protect these documents with:

• Encrypted SharePoint libraries with access restricted to finance and executive roles
• Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels marking bonding documents as "Confidential" — blocking external sharing
• Secure file-sharing links replacing email attachments for sending documents to surety companies
• Audit logging of all access to sensitive financial documents
