The IT risks that matter most to a construction company
Your work happens in the field, but plans, bids and payments run through the office. Here’s how we handle the six IT concerns contractors raise most.
Connected job sites and field crews
Site trailers and remote crews often have patchy internet, so RFIs, photos and timesheets wait until someone gets back to the office.
How we help: We set up and support reliable internet and secure access for site trailers and field crews, so the field can reach the files and apps it needs.
Mobile devices and tablets
Phones and tablets get dropped, lost or left on site, often with company email and project files on them.
How we help: We set up phones and tablets with secure sign-in and company email, and can lock or wipe a lost device so your data doesn’t go with it.
Project management and estimating software
When your project management or estimating software is slow or down before a bid deadline, the whole office stalls.
How we help: We keep the computers, servers, network and accounts it runs on healthy, and work with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.
Sharing large plan files
Drawings, models and photo sets are too big for email, and copies on USB drives and personal accounts go out of date or go missing.
How we help: We set up secure file sharing, for example in Microsoft 365, so the office, field crews, architects and subs all work from the current set.
Email security and payment fraud
Criminals hack or imitate a supplier’s or subcontractor’s email and send “new bank details” just before a progress payment is due.
How we help: We secure email with multi-factor sign-in and filtering, help staff spot phishing, and help you set a simple rule: confirm any change to bank details by phone using a number you already know.
Backups for project records
Bids, contracts, change orders and closeout documents must be kept for years, and one ransomware attack or failed server can wipe them out.
How we help: We back up your files and systems to a separate, secure location and check that they can be restored, so you can get back to work quickly after a problem.
We support the computers, servers and networks that run Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, Bluebeam and Autodesk Construction Cloud, and work with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.

Payment fraud
How payment fraud hits construction companies
Large payments, many suppliers and subs, and lots of email make construction a favorite target. It usually happens in three steps.
1. An email account is hacked or faked
Criminals break into a supplier’s, sub’s or staff member’s email, or register a look-alike address, and quietly watch the conversation about an upcoming payment.
2. “Our bank details have changed”
Just before a progress payment, retainage release or supplier invoice is due, a convincing email arrives with new account details.
3. The money is gone
The payment goes to the criminal’s account. By the time the real supplier asks where their money is, it has usually been moved on.
The fix is simple: confirm any change to bank details by phone, using a number you already have, never one from the email. We help put the email protections in place and make that check a habit.

What’s included in the free 30-minute security check?
A quick review of your email security and multi-factor sign-in, a check that your backups are running and recoverable, and a dark web scan for leaked company passwords (the dark web is hidden websites where criminals trade stolen logins). We explain the results in plain English, with no obligation.
How do you keep job sites and field crews connected?
We set up reliable internet and secure remote access for site trailers and crews, so they can reach plans, email and project software from the field. Phones are answered 24/7 if something stops working.
What happens if a crew member loses a company phone or tablet?
We can lock or wipe it remotely, so company email and project files don’t go with it. Then we help set up a replacement.

Yes. Bayotech supports the computers, servers and networks that run Procore, Sage 300 CRE, Viewpoint Vista, Bluebeam and Autodesk Construction Cloud, and works with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.
How should construction companies share large plan files?
Use secure cloud file sharing, such as Microsoft 365, instead of email attachments or USB drives. Everyone works from the current set, and you control who can see what.
How can a contractor prevent wire fraud on progress payments?
Confirm every new or changed bank detail by phone, using a number you already have, never one from the email. Add multi-factor sign-in and email filtering so criminals can’t easily break into or imitate your accounts.
