Technology keeps construction projects moving. But when systems don’t connect or data doesn’t flow, productivity stalls, and decisions get delayed, and costs rise. Here are five of the most common IT challenges construction leaders face, and how Handled IT Partners helps solve them.

Disconnected Systems and Poor Integration

Construction companies often use a mix of ERP, project management, BIM, payroll, and field apps. When these systems don’t communicate, data gets trapped in silos, forcing manual re-entry and increasing the risk of errors.

How Handled IT Partners helps:

• Builds a unified IT strategy that connects every tool in your workflow.
• Plans and implements integrations across Procore, Viewpoint, SAP, Oracle ERP, BIM 360, and PlanGrid.
• Standardizes applications to create one clear source of truth.
• Supports both Mac and Windows environments so teams work seamlessly across platforms.

Quick wins:
• Map out an integration plan focused on key data: project status, cost codes, and budgets.
• Simplify access with single sign-on (SSO) and role-based permissions.
• Develop a consistent data model to keep everything aligned.

As a Certified Mac Partner, Handled IT Partners ensures Mac-based offices and field teams are fully supported.

Limited Field Visibility and Offline Access

Field teams often rely on mobile tools to capture daily updates, photos, and reports. When connections are unreliable or apps don’t sync properly, project visibility suffers.

How Handled IT Partners helps:

• Designs mobile strategies that work offline with automatic data syncing.
• Supports field workflows including RFIs, submittals, safety checks, and daily logs.
• Improves network performance for remote and low-bandwidth job sites.

Quick wins:
• Use offline-first apps that sync automatically once connected.
• Set up dashboards for real-time project tracking.
• Validate data accuracy in the field to reduce rework.

Our cross-platform approach keeps field and office teams connected on Mac, PC, and mobile.

Cybersecurity and Data Governance Risks

Remote teams, subcontractors, and shared access increase risk the of exposure. Without strong security controls, sensitive data can be vulnerable.

How Handled IT Partners helps:

• Establishes baseline security controls: multi-factor authentication, patch management, and endpoint protection.
• Segments networks and limits user access to minimize risk.
• Develops a full data protection and disaster recovery strategy.

Quick wins:
• Apply a standard security framework across every device and system.
• Audit user access regularly.
• Build and test an incident response plan before you need it.

Handled IT Partners secures both Windows and macOS environments as well as cloud systems, ensuring full protection across platforms.

Low User Adoption and Change Management Challenges

New tools often fail to gain traction when training, communication, and leadership buy-ins are missing. Without proper rollout, even great technology goes unused.

How Handled IT Partners helps:

• Leads structured change management with phased implementation and project champions.
• Provides simple, role-based training and ongoing user support.
• Tracks adoption metrics tied to measurable outcomes like time saved and accurate improvements.

Quick wins:
• Identify “super-users” to lead by example.
• Create clear training paths by role.
• Show how each tool directly supports business goals.

Training and support are available across all platforms, including specialized guidance for Mac-based teams.

Data Quality and Forecasting Gaps

When project data is inconsistent or incomplete, forecasts and budgets are unreliable. Leaders can’t make confident decisions without accurate, real-time insights.

How Handled IT Partners helps:

• Builds data governance frameworks with templates, validation, and audit rules.
• Connects Procore, Viewpoint, ERP, and BIM data into unified dashboards and reports.
• Automates data collection from the field to reduce manual errors.

Quick wins:
• Enforce data validation at the point of entry.
• Create dashboards that show project health and risk in real time.
• Automate repetitive reporting tasks to improve accuracy and save time.
