Site crews open the same drawing as head office.

A builder's team is spread across the head office, the site sheds and the vehicles between them. We link the sites, enrol the tablets and laptops the crews carry into device management, and set up Procore, Bluebeam and SharePoint access so the drawing on site is the revision the office issued.

Office and site

Crews work from site sheds, vehicles and head office.

Site offices and field crews need the same project data, accounting system and Teams channels as head office, over links, devices and document platforms that work away from it.

Multi-site connectivity
Each site office needs a link back to head office for the project data, the accounting system and Teams. A site-to-site VPN over the NBN or 4G service available at the site is the usual build.
Rugged and mobile device management
Tablets on job sites, laptops in site sheds and phones in the field all need enrolling, patching and remote wipe if one goes missing, and the hardware has to be rated for dust and drops.
Project data access from anywhere
Plans, drawings, contracts and safety documents have to reach the site, the office and home. With dozens of parties on a project, the document platform needs version control and permissions set per party.
Site-to-site VPNs & cloud file access

Site offices join the head office network.

VPN links connect the head office, each site office and your cloud platforms, with the same firewall configuration at every location.

Cloud file storage holds one copy of each plan, so a superseded revision is replaced for every site at once.

Managed mobile devices

Tablets are enrolled before they leave the office.

The tablets, laptops and phones your field teams carry go into mobile device management with the policies applied before they go out to site.

A lost or stolen device is wiped remotely, and updates install over whatever connection the device has without it coming back to the office.

Secure project collaboration

Each subcontractor sees only their own package.

SharePoint, Teams and your project management platform are set up with access controls, so subcontractors, project managers and office staff each see the documents for their part of the job.

When the project wraps up, we archive the data and remove the external access.

Case study

Four sites run on one network.

Construction

One network across four offices for a regional builder

A construction company with offices in Southport, Robina and two Toowoomba locations had set each site up on its own, and files moved between them as email attachments and on USB drives. We put matching firewalls into each office, joined them with site-to-site VPNs, rolled out managed Wi-Fi with a separate visitor network at each site, and gave project managers secure remote access to the shared drives and estimating software from the office or a site cabin.
