Wire fraud targeting draw payments
Spoofed emails redirecting progress payments and subcontractor invoices. Construction firms are frequent business-email-compromise targets around draws and vendor payments.
INDUSTRY · CONSTRUCTION & AEC
IT for construction and AEC firms — built for the jobsite, the office, and the wire transfer in between.
Field crews, estimators, and project managers all need the same files at the same time — and construction firms are frequent business-email-compromise targets, especially around draw and vendor payments. We keep plans moving, jobsites connected, and draw payments protected.
Why construction IT is different from office IT.
A construction firm moves drawings measured in gigabytes between the trailer, the office, and the field — while payment instructions travel by email. Slow CAD opens delay bids. Spoofed vendor-change emails redirect draws. Temporary trailers need Wi-Fi, VoIP, and cameras on day one and a clean teardown at closeout. The IT baseline has to cover jobsite connectivity, file performance, and payment-fraud controls together.
Where construction IT usually breaks down.
CAD and BIM files that crawl
AutoCAD, Revit, and large plan sets measured in gigabytes choke undersized networks and consumer file sync.
Field-to-office file chaos
Superintendents on hotspots, PMs on project platforms, office on a file server — three versions of the same drawing.
Jobsite trailers with no real IT
Temporary offices need Wi-Fi, VoIP, and cameras on day one, torn down at closeout — without leaving accounts and gear behind.
Unmanaged field devices
Tablets and laptops shared across crews with no device management, holding bid data and client contracts.
Hurricane-season exposure
A jobsite loses days; the business can't. Server rooms and backups need a storm plan that has been restore-tested.

View service →What RANGO evaluates in a construction IT review.
The review is built around how a South Florida contractor actually works: bids and drawings move between the main office and temporary sites, field devices change hands, and payment instructions cross email. We document the current state first, then prioritize the changes that reduce operational and financial risk without interrupting active projects.
Email and payment-change controls
We review MFA, email authentication, mailbox rules, approval paths, and the out-of-band verification procedure used when a vendor or subcontractor changes banking instructions.
CAD, BIM, and plan-file performance
We trace the path from storage to switch, Wi-Fi, VPN, and endpoint so the recommendation addresses the real bottleneck instead of guessing at hardware.
Jobsite startup and closeout
We map a repeatable trailer standard for connectivity, cameras, VoIP, accounts, and secure decommissioning when the project closes.
Hurricane and recovery readiness
We identify where project, estimating, and accounting data lives; verify backup coverage; and define the order systems should return after an outage.

Do you support Procore, Buildertrend, or Bluebeam?
We support the infrastructure, identity, and file-performance side and handle vendor escalations; the platforms remain yours.
Can you set up a jobsite trailer?
Yes — Wi-Fi, cameras, VoIP, and secure connectivity back to the office, then decommission at closeout.
How do you stop payment wire fraud?
Email authentication, MFA, banking-change verification procedures, and staff phishing training.
Our CAD files are huge — can you fix slow opens?
Usually. Switching, Wi-Fi, server, and sync architecture are the common culprits; we benchmark before and after.
What happens during a hurricane?
Documented backup/restore plan, cloud failover for critical files, and a re-open checklist per site.
Keep the jobsite moving — we'll keep the technology behind it solid.
