Managed IT for Construction & Real Estate Firms in Minnesota
SOL-I.S. provides managed IT and cybersecurity for construction and real estate firms across the Minnesota South Metro, supporting teams in the field, across job sites, and in the office. We support firms including Northfield Construction Company and Bluewater Commercial Real Estate. When work happens on site as much as at a desk, your technology has to follow the team wherever the job is.
Your team is in the field, and your data needs to be there with them.
Construction and real estate work happens away from the office, across job sites, properties, and trucks, which means field crews need secure, reliable access to plans, documents, and email wherever they are. Project files and contracts are valuable and sensitive, and losing access to them, or losing them entirely, can stall a project or a deal. As firms take on more projects and locations, the technology has to scale without becoming a bottleneck.
What you're up against
The IT challenges this industry actually faces.
01
Mobile and field IT
Crews and agents work from job sites, properties, and the road, and they need secure access to plans, documents, and communication from anywhere. Supporting and securing that mobile work is different from supporting a single office.
02
Multi-site coordination
Work spread across job sites and offices has to stay connected and consistent. Each location and project adds complexity that needs to be managed without slowing the team down.
03
Plan and document access
Plans, drawings, contracts, and project files have to be available, current, and protected. Lost or inaccessible documents create expensive delays and disputes on active projects.
04
Project-based, scaling growth
These firms grow project by project, and the IT foundation has to flex with that growth. Onboarding, access, and security need to scale up and down with the work without constant disruption.

Answers
Construction & Real Estate: common questions
Do you support construction and real estate companies?
Yes. SOL-I.S. supports construction and real estate firms in the South Metro, including Northfield Construction Company and Bluewater Commercial Real Estate. We focus on connecting the field and the office and keeping project data secure and accessible.
Can your support follow our team into the field?
Yes. We set up secure mobile and remote access so crews and agents can reach plans, documents, and email from job sites, properties, and the road. Field work is the norm in your industry, so we design IT and security around it rather than treating the office as the only location that matters.
How do you keep our plans, contracts, and project files safe and available?
We use managed cloud storage and access controls so files stay current and reachable, backed by monitored backups and disaster recovery. That means plans and contracts are protected against loss and recoverable if something goes wrong, which keeps projects and deals from stalling.
We are growing project by project. Can your IT keep up?
Yes. We build a foundation that scales with project-based growth and added locations, and we provide vCIO planning so technology and security expand with the business. As the work grows, onboarding, access, and security grow with it instead of becoming a bottleneck.
