Construction IT Support in Dallas — Technology That Works on the Jobsite
Your crews don't work behind desks. Your IT shouldn't be designed like they do. We build technology solutions for the way construction actually works — in the field, across multiple sites, on the move.
The Construction IT Challenge
Construction companies operate in ways that break every assumption standard IT providers make.
Standard IT is designed for people who sit at desks in climate-controlled offices with reliable internet. That describes maybe 30% of a construction company's workforce. The other 70% are in the field — on jobsites that change every few months, using devices that get dropped in the mud, trying to pull up plans on a tablet with one bar of cell service.
Then there's the software stack. Construction companies use specialized tools that most IT providers have never touched: Procore for project management, Bluebeam for plan markup, Sage 300 CRE for accounting, Revit for BIM modeling. These tools need to work together, sync reliably between office and field, and run on hardware that can handle the workload.
And the business itself is dynamic. You're constantly opening and closing jobsites, onboarding and offboarding subcontractors, scaling your workforce with the project pipeline. Your IT needs to flex with the business — not lock you into rigid infrastructure designed for a static office environment.
Type 5 Technology has built our construction IT practice around these realities. Mobile-first device management. Jobsite connectivity that actually works. Support for the software your teams depend on. And the flexibility to scale up or down as your project load changes.
What We Provide
IT solutions designed for the unique demands of construction and AEC companies.
Field Mobility Solutions
Construction work happens in the field, not behind a desk. We set up and manage mobile device fleets — tablets, rugged laptops, smartphones — with MDM (Mobile Device Management) that keeps devices secure, applications updated, and company data protected even when a device is lost or stolen on a jobsite. Your crews get the plans, specs, and project data they need wherever work happens.
Project Management Tool Support
Procore, PlanGrid (Autodesk Build), Bluebeam, Buildertrend, CoConstruct — your project management tools are central to how your company operates. We handle the IT infrastructure that supports these platforms: device provisioning, user management, integration with your accounting software, and troubleshooting when something doesn't sync. Your project managers stay focused on projects, not IT problems.
Jobsite Connectivity
Active jobsites need internet access for project management apps, plan viewers, inspection documentation, and real-time communication. We deploy temporary and semi-permanent connectivity solutions — cellular failover, point-to-point wireless links, rugged outdoor access points, and satellite backup — that keep your crews connected regardless of what's available at the job location.
Fleet and Equipment Tracking
Construction equipment is expensive, mobile, and frequently spread across multiple jobsites. We integrate GPS tracking, telematics, and equipment management systems with your IT infrastructure so you know where every asset is, when maintenance is due, and how utilization compares across your fleet. Integration with your accounting and project management systems automates cost allocation.
Multi-Site Networking
Headquarters, branch offices, material yards, and active jobsites all need to communicate securely. We build multi-site network architectures using SD-WAN, site-to-site VPN, and cloud-based collaboration tools that keep every location connected. Centralized management means we monitor and maintain all locations from a single platform — no need for IT staff at every site.
BIM and CAD Infrastructure
Building Information Modeling (BIM) files are massive. Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, and other AEC applications demand high-performance workstations, fast storage, and network bandwidth that standard office IT can't provide. We spec, deploy, and maintain the computing infrastructure that keeps your design team productive — including GPU workstations, high-speed NAS, and cloud rendering options.
Data Security for Construction
Construction companies handle bid documents, proprietary estimating data, subcontractor information, and client financial details. A data breach can cost you competitive advantage and client trust. We implement security controls — endpoint protection, email security, access controls, and encrypted file sharing — that protect sensitive business data across office and field locations.
Cloud Migration and Management
Moving from on-premises file servers to cloud platforms like SharePoint, Box, or Google Workspace gives your field teams access to current documents without VPN hassles. We manage cloud migrations that preserve your folder structures, permissions, and version history while improving access speed and reliability for distributed construction teams.
The Construction Technology Landscape
Modern construction companies run complex technology stacks. We help them work together.
Project Management and Collaboration
Procore, PlanGrid (Autodesk Build), Buildertrend, CoConstruct, and similar platforms have transformed how construction projects are managed. But they only work if every team member can access them reliably. We ensure that mobile devices are provisioned correctly, SSO is configured, integrations with accounting and estimating software are functional, and offline capabilities work for crews in areas with poor connectivity.
Estimating and Accounting Systems
Construction accounting is its own discipline — job costing, WIP reporting, retention tracking, AIA billing. Software like Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, and Sage 100 Contractor requires reliable server infrastructure, regular database maintenance, and integration with project management platforms. We keep these mission-critical systems running and backed up.
Design and BIM Tools
Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks, SketchUp, and other AEC design tools demand high-performance computing resources. We spec workstations with the right GPU, CPU, and RAM configurations for your specific software stack. For Revit worksharing environments, we configure central model servers and network settings that support concurrent multi-user editing without the dreaded sync conflicts.
Who We Serve
AEC companies across Dallas/Fort Worth rely on us for field-ready IT support.
General Contractors
GCs managing multiple active jobsites with field crews, subcontractors, and office staff who all need access to project data.
Specialty Subcontractors
Electrical, mechanical, plumbing, concrete, and other specialty trades with mobile crews and project-based work patterns.
Architecture and Engineering Firms

Real estate developers managing construction portfolios who need visibility into project data, budgets, and timelines across multiple builds.
Construction IT Pricing
Flexible pricing that matches the dynamic nature of construction businesses.
Construction IT is priced based on your mix of office users, field users, number of locations, and technology complexity. Office users start at $100–$150/user/month for managed IT support. Field device management, jobsite connectivity, and BIM infrastructure are scoped and quoted based on your specific project and operational needs. We offer flexible terms that accommodate the seasonal nature of construction work.
