IT that travels from the office to the jobsite.
Contractors and trades aren’t one location — they’re an office plus however many active sites are running this month. We run managed IT for Hawaii GCs, subs, and engineering offices so the office back end and the field tech actually work together.
Construction and Trades IT Services for Hawaii Contractors
HI Tech Hui delivers construction and trades IT services to Hawaii general contractors, subcontractors, and specialty trade businesses. Engagements cover Procore, Sage 100/300 Contractor, QuickBooks, and the field tablets, ruggedized devices, and trailer Wi-Fi that keep job sites moving. Mobile device management, secure remote access for project managers in the field, and identity hardening protect bid data, plans, and lien-sensitive financials — with 24/7 SOC coverage for after-hours incidents on multi-island projects.
What this industry actually deals with
The office uses estimating software, accounting software, and project management software, all of which want to share the same file server that’s been there since 2018. The field uses phones, tablets, the truck’s hotspot, and whatever Wi-Fi the trailer has this week. Plans and drawings get emailed and re-emailed until nobody knows which version is current. Foremen lose phones. PMs forward attachments to their personal Gmail because the company VPN doesn’t work from the site. We come in, clean this up, and run it.
What we cover
- Office network & Wi-Fi — reliable internet with failover, segmented from guest traffic, ready for plotters and large file transfers
- Jobsite connectivity — cellular routers, Starlink for sites without service, VPN back to the office, ruggedized gear that survives the trailer
- Mobile device management — iPhones, iPads, Android phones secured with MDM so a lost device doesn’t become a data breach
- Cloud file sharing — SharePoint, OneDrive, or vendor platforms set up so plans, RFIs, and submittals have one canonical home
- Industry software coordination — Procore, Sage 100/300, Foundation, Viewpoint, Bluebeam, PlanGrid, ArcGIS, AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam
- Microsoft 365 — mail, MFA, Teams, document libraries, license cleanup
- Backups — immutable cloud backup with real restore tests, including accounting and estimating data
- Cybersecurity — email security against fake invoice and lien-release fraud, endpoint security, phishing training, and 24/7 SOC monitoring
Who we work with
General contractors, mechanical / electrical / plumbing subs, paving and site work, landscape and demolition, specialty trades, project management firms, engineering and architecture offices with crews in the field, and government-contracting trades that have to navigate added security requirements. Common thread: office staff plus mobile crews, plus money tied up in projects that can’t afford bad data.
Why a Hawaii team helps here
Jobsites on different islands have different ISP options, different shipping realities, and different inspection schedules. Mainland MSPs don’t track that. We do, we’ve been doing it since 2014, and we can dispatch trusted on-island techs when the trailer Wi-Fi gets cooked or a truck’s router gets wet.
