Not all IT support providers understand construction. We've built our managed IT support around the realities of the sector — mobile teams, site environments, contract compliance and project deadlines.
We understand construction
From BIM workflows and site connectivity to Cyber Essentials compliance and invoice fraud — our IT support is built around your sector, not adapted from a generic MSP playbook.
Engineers answer the phone
When a site goes down or a deadline is at risk, you need an engineer — not a call handler. Our helpdesk puts you through to someone who can fix the problem immediately.
Cyber Essentials Plus certified
We hold the certification we recommend to our construction clients. We've been through the process and we guide you through it — so your certifications are in place when contracts demand them.
Proactive, not reactive
Our monitoring catches issues before they stop a live project. We don't wait for things to break — we identify and resolve problems proactively, so your team stays productive.
Microsoft Solutions Partner
5 Microsoft designations mean we can deliver the full Microsoft stack — from Microsoft 365 and Azure to Dynamics 365 Business Central for construction ERP — all from one trusted partner.
Transparent fixed pricing
No hidden costs, no surprise invoices. Fixed monthly pricing makes IT costs as predictable as any other business overhead — important when project margins are tight.

Is outsourced IT support right for your construction company?
For most UK construction companies, outsourced IT support from a specialist provider delivers better coverage, stronger security and lower total cost than hiring in-house — especially for a mobile, multi-site workforce.
| Capability | Outsourced IT (NetMonkeys) | In-house IT Hire |
|---|---|---|
| 24/7 helpdesk coverage | ✓ Always on | ✗ Office hours only |
| Construction IT knowledge | ✓ Sector-specific | Varies widely |
| Cyber Essentials certification | ✓ Managed end-to-end | Additional cost |
| Site connectivity solutions | ✓ Included | ✗ Often out of scope |
| Monthly cost (10-user company) | ✓ ~£350–600/mo | ✗ £3,500+/mo (salary + NI) |
| Scales with project pipeline | ✓ Flexes up/down | ✗ Headcount fixed |
| BIM & Microsoft 365 expertise | ✓ Microsoft certified | Depends on hire |
| Proactive monitoring | ✓ 24/7 automated | Manual / limited |
Outsourced IT support for construction companies gives you a full team of specialists — helpdesk, security, cloud, infrastructure — for less than the cost of a single in-house hire.

Construction is one of the most demanding environments for IT. Mobile workforces, temporary site offices, large file transfers, BIM models, invoice fraud and tight project deadlines create challenges that a generic IT provider simply isn't built to handle.
Unreliable site connectivity
Temporary offices, remote locations and poor signal mean your site teams can't access cloud systems, BIM files or project management tools when they need them most.
→ We solve thisInvoice fraud & payment diversion
Construction's high-value payment chains are a prime target. Criminals intercept emails and redirect six-figure payments with fake invoices — email security is non-negotiable.
→ We solve thisBIM & large file management
BIM Level 2 compliance and Revit workflows require high-performance hardware and reliable file sync. Most IT providers don't understand the spec — and you pay in downtime.
→ We solve thisManaging a dispersed workforce
Site managers, surveyors, office staff and subcontractors all need different access levels. Without proper IT management, security gaps open across every project.
→ We solve thisCyber Essentials required for contracts
Government construction contracts and many tier-1 frameworks now require Cyber Essentials certification as a minimum. Without it, you're excluded from tender before you begin.
→ We solve thisRansomware halts live projects
Losing access to project files and BIM models mid-build triggers contractual penalties. A ransomware attack on a construction company has consequences far beyond data loss.
→ We solve thisNetMonkeys has built its IT services for the construction industry around these exact challenges — not retrofitted a generic MSP offering onto a sector we don't understand.

- BIM file storage & secure client portals

Power BI — Business Intelligence & Project Reporting
Microsoft Power BI turns your construction data into live dashboards and visual reports — giving project directors, commercial managers and finance teams the real-time visibility they need to make faster decisions.

Find Your Local TeamCommon questions about IT support for construction
Answers to the questions we hear most from construction businesses exploring managed IT support.
What does construction IT support typically include?
IT services for construction includes 24/7 helpdesk access, proactive monitoring, cybersecurity (including email security and invoice fraud prevention), site connectivity solutions, Microsoft 365 management, BIM infrastructure support, Cyber Essentials certification and disaster recovery. A specialist construction IT support provider will tailor these services around site environments and mobile workforces.
How much does managed IT support for construction companies cost?
Managed IT support for construction companies typically costs between £35 and £80 per user per month, depending on the scope of services, number of sites and security requirements. This is significantly less than the cost of hiring an in-house IT professional when factoring in salary, National Insurance, benefits and coverage gaps. Contact us for a fixed-price quote tailored to your construction business.
Do construction companies need Cyber Essentials?
Yes — Cyber Essentials certification is now a mandatory requirement for many government construction contracts and is increasingly required by tier-1 contractors and housing associations. Cyber Essentials Plus (the independently verified version) is required for higher-value or more security-sensitive contracts. NetMonkeys manages the full certification process for construction companies.
How do you provide IT support for construction site offices?
Site office connectivity is provided using 4G/5G mobile routers with dual-SIM failover, temporary broadband connections for longer projects, and outdoor-rated mesh WiFi for larger sites. This gives site teams reliable access to cloud systems, BIM files and project management tools regardless of location.
Can you support BIM Level 2 requirements?
Yes. NetMonkeys specifies and procures BIM-ready workstations with professional GPUs for Revit and Navisworks, manages file sync and cloud storage for large BIM models, and ensures your IT infrastructure meets BIM Level 2 requirements for government-procured construction projects.
What is outsourced IT support for construction companies?
Outsourced IT support for construction companies means working with a specialist IT provider who manages all of your technology — helpdesk, cybersecurity, cloud systems, connectivity and compliance — rather than hiring an in-house IT person. For most construction businesses, outsourcing delivers better coverage, specialist knowledge and lower total cost.
