Construction & Trades
Technology that keeps up with the job site.
Compare site internet, crew mobile plans and backup options against your project schedule. One procurement brief, with availability and delivery confirmed by suppliers.
Your site brief
Plan the connection around the project.
Bring these details to the review. We use them to request relevant supplier options.
- 01
Before crews arrive
Site address, target start date, trailer position and access arrangements.
- 02
While work is underway
Essential applications, crew devices, coverage needs and backup requirements.
- 03
When the project ends
Expected end date, notice period, equipment return and relocation terms.
The Problem
The connectivity problem on job sites.
Start with the site conditions and the work that needs a connection. These four questions help define a useful supplier brief.
Install lead times vs. project schedules
Wired internet at a new site can take weeks to install — sometimes longer where construction is involved. The project schedule rarely waits for it.
Offices that move
The site trailer is this year’s office. Contracts written for a fixed address fit badly when the address changes with every project.
Crews on mobile
Review coverage, device requirements and data use for drawings, timesheets, photos and dispatch across your active sites.
A site going dark
When site connectivity drops, cameras, clock-ins, and cloud project tools stop. Review backup options and test the applications that must continue during an outage.
What We Arrange
From the trailer to the head office.
Construction-site internet — including fixed wireless & LTE
Compare wired, fixed wireless and cellular options against the site address, project duration and required start date. Ask suppliers to confirm coverage, installation, equipment and relocation or cancellation terms before ordering.
Business mobile fleets
Phones and tablets for crews, on plans matched to how the fleet is actually used — shared data where it makes sense, coverage checked against where your projects actually are, and adding or moving lines handled by the desk instead of whoever has time to sit on hold.
Head-office networking
The main office still anchors the business: estimating, accounting, and the servers or cloud links everything else depends on. We benchmark head-office connectivity, keep its renewal on a calendar, and review supplier options alongside your site requirements.
Backup connectivity planning
Identify the cameras, access systems and cloud tools that must remain available. Have your technical team assess shared failure points and test switching and recovery. A second connection alone does not establish resilience.
When to Call the Desk
Three moments to bring us in.
You just won a new site
Connectivity belongs on the mobilization checklist. Share the target start date early so suppliers can confirm availability and installation requirements.
A site trailer is going in
Review the connectivity requirements for internet, cameras and clock-ins together, including equipment, power and installation responsibilities.
The office is moving
Head-office moves need lead time, especially for fiber. Start before the lease is signed and the move-in date stays realistic.
How the Desk Works
One desk, every site.
Share the site address, required dates and essential applications. We request available supplier options and coordinate the next steps you approve. Your team confirms technical requirements; suppliers confirm availability, installation arrangements and service terms.
When you order through us, the supplier pays us a commission. We do not add a separate procurement fee; the supplier provides your quote. If staying with a current provider is the right call for a site, that's what we'll recommend.
How we evaluate connectivity for a new address is covered on our business internet page — and the opening a new office use case walks through the site-standup timeline.
