Construction runs on tight deadlines and tighter margins. Bad technology makes both worse.

Your business needs an IT team for the same reason it needs an accountant. It’s not because the work is constant. This is why you don’t keep an accountant in-house or pay for an ongoing retainer with a lawyer. In the same way, for your IT, when you need assistance, you need to have a response ready.

Joe Apps provides IT support sized for small construction businesses through our full services offering. We offer ongoing support plans, but for businesses that just need ad hoc support, we offer that too! It’s important to have flexible options for your business so that you can get help when you need it.

Can Joe Apps support the specific software home builders use?

Joe Apps works with a range of estimating, project management, and scheduling tools common in residential construction. For anything less familiar, we assess the software first and tell you honestly before taking on the support.

Even if we can’t directly support specific software, chances are you are using something that our team is specialized in. We work with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and many other industry-standard software for email, scheduling, and business intelligence.

Plus, our team can handle all of your data needs. Do you know how your client data is backed up? What would you do if you started your computer one day and it had been wiped, or bricked? While these are emergency situations, and should only happen rarely (and ideally not ever), you can work with our team to put a plan together to respond in these worst-case-scenarios.

What can an IT team help my construction company with?

The list of ways Joe Apps can help your team is longer than you might think! Here are a few ways our team has supported our clients:

  • Restoring estimating software that crashed when a quote was due
  • Project management tools that don’t sync between the office and the site supervisor’s phone
  • Email that stops working the morning of a client meeting
  • Contracts and permit documents scattered across multiple computers with no central backup

We know how to work proactively to prevent issues from happening. And in the event that something happens out of anyone’s control, we set up response plans and automated backups to secure what is most important.
