Construction and the built environment

The office is fixed, the sites are not

Construction IT has to work in two places at once: a settled head office and a rotating set of sites that exist for months, have no fixed infrastructure and are frequently outside reliable coverage. Very little standard office IT design survives contact with that.

  1. Connectivity on a site that has none

    A new site typically has no fixed line and patchy mobile signal, yet needs drawings, variations and photographs moving the same day. Temporary connectivity, cellular failover and offline-tolerant working matter more here than raw office bandwidth.

  2. Drawings are large, versioned, and expensive to get wrong

    Design files are big and change often, and building from a superseded revision is a costly mistake. The technology question is controlled access to the current version from a site device, which is a synchronisation and permissions problem rather than a storage one.

  3. Kit that lives in a van and a dusty cabin

    Site hardware is dropped, rained on and occasionally stolen. Device encryption, remote wipe and a fast replacement path are worth more than specification, because the realistic failure mode is loss rather than obsolescence.
