Construction runs on deadlines. Your technology shouldn't be what blows the schedule.
bNetworked keeps construction firms across Atlantic Canada secure, connected from trailer to office, and ready to use AI where it actually saves time, estimating, bids, and the paperwork mountain, without putting your project data at risk.
The risks that actually hit construction firms aren't theoretical, they're invoices and idle crews.
Wire fraud and fake invoices.
A "we've changed our banking details" email on a six-figure progress payment is one of the most common and most expensive ways contractors get hit. We put the controls in place that stop the payment before it leaves.
Downtime doesn't pause the schedule.
When systems go down mid-project, milestones slip, crews sit idle, and liquidated damages start counting. Security and reliable IT are schedule protection.
Your team isn't at desks.
Plans, RFIs, and site photos move between the trailer, the truck, and the office. Every device is a door, and most of them leave the building every day.
Document chaos costs real money.
The wrong drawing revision on site, a change order nobody can find, a COI that's expired. One source of truth, controlled and current.
Owners and insurers are now asking.
More general contractors and project owners require subs to meet specific security standards before they'll award the work, and your cyber insurance renewal asks the same questions. We implement the controls and hand you the evidence.
Five services, one accountable firm.
Cybersecurity
Stop wire fraud and ransomware, protect your bid and client data, and meet the security requirements your contracts now demand.
Managed IT
done for you
Office and field support from a team that understands a down system is a delayed project. You call; we handle it.
Cloud & Microsoft 365
Microsoft partner
Drawings, RFIs, and documents accessible and controlled from jobsite to office: one current source of truth, not five versions in five inboxes.
AI Command
a service of bNetworked Inc.
Estimating support, proposals, RFI responses, and spec summaries done faster, securely.
Compliance
documented for you
Cyber insurance and contractual security requirements met and evidenced, so you can answer the questionnaire honestly and win the work.
The paperwork side of construction is where AI pays for itself first.
Estimating and takeoffs, drafting proposals and bids, answering RFIs, summarizing long specs and contracts, safety and compliance documentation, the document-heavy back office eats hours every week. AI can give those hours back.
The catch is doing it without pasting confidential bid numbers or client data into public tools. We map where AI fits your firm, build the guardrails, and implement it, measurable gains inside a defined window, security included from day one.
Two-minute check
Start with the readiness check: it scores where AI can pay off for your firm and whether it's safe to build yet, on both axes at once.
We understand contracts, COIs, holdbacks, and the fact that "the system is down" during a pour is not the same as during a coffee break. That's the difference between an IT vendor and a partner who gets construction.
Straight answers, construction edition.
- Does a construction company really need cybersecurity?
- Yes. And increasingly your clients require it. Beyond the risk of wire fraud and ransomware, more owners and general contractors now demand that subcontractors meet security standards before awarding work, and cyber insurers require specific controls to renew your policy.
- What's the most common cyberattack on construction firms?
- Business email compromise: a fraudulent invoice or a fake "change of banking details" message timed to a large project payment. It's low-tech, it's effective, and it's preventable with the right controls and process.
- Can AI actually help a construction business?
- Yes, usually in the office before the field. Estimating, bids, RFI responses, and summarizing long specs and contracts are document-heavy tasks where AI saves real time, as long as it's set up so confidential data never leaves your control.
- Our crews work in the field, not at desks. Can you support that?
- That's most of our construction work. We secure and support the devices and apps your team uses on site, and make sure plans, documents, and photos move safely between the jobsite and the office.
- Our GC or project owner is asking us to meet security requirements. Can you help?
- Yes. We implement the controls they're asking for and document the evidence, so you can complete the questionnaire honestly and keep winning the work.
- Will moving to the cloud disrupt our projects?
- Done properly, no. We plan migrations around your project schedule and make sure your team can keep working throughout. The goal is fewer disruptions, not a new one.
Let's protect your schedule, your payments, and your margin.
A short call to understand how your firm runs (office and field), and where the risks and the time-savings actually are. No pressure, no jargon.
