IT for construction and installation companies: your project information wherever you are
In construction and installation, the work happens on site. We make sure your team can get to the right information there just as easily and securely as at the office.
IT that moves with work on site
In construction and installation, the work rarely happens behind a desk. Your team needs secure access to drawings, schedules and project information, anywhere and at any time. It also needs to be able to work together easily with partners.
The office and the site connected
NSO sets up workstations and mobile devices so that working together between the office and the site is effortless, without compromising on security. That way your team spends its time on the project, not on looking for the right information.
Industry software

Our approach
How we help you at the office and on site
Project information always to hand
Drawings, schedules and work orders are kept in one central, secure place. Your team opens them anywhere (at the office, in the van or on the building site) and always works with the latest version.
- One project folder per project, accessible anywhere
- Always the current drawing, no old versions on site
- Easy to open on a tablet and phone too
- Photos and documents from the site straight into the project
Phones and tablets managed securely
Engineers and site managers work a lot with phones and tablets. We manage them centrally, so they are secure and ready to use straight away.
- New devices set up automatically
- Business apps and data kept separate from personal ones
- A lost device can be locked or wiped remotely
- Updates that are applied automatically
Working securely with subcontractors
You rarely do a project on your own. Subcontractors, architects and clients get access to exactly the information they need, and no more.
- Guest access to only the relevant project folder
- Access that stops when the project ends
- No more files sent by separate emails or USB sticks
- An overview of who can access what
Large drawings and models without waiting
Construction drawings and BIM models are often large. We set up storage and the network so you can work with them smoothly, and advise on which solution suits your software.
- Storage that suits large files and your software
- A fast and stable network at the office
- Advice on workstations for drafters and engineers
- Backup of all your project data
Working securely at any location
On site you work through all kinds of networks. That is why we make sure your security travels with you, so you can work securely anywhere.
- Sign-in with two-step verification
- Encrypted laptops and tablets
- Secure access to business data, also over mobile internet
- Protection against phishing, on your phone too
In practice
A day on the building site
This is how your team works with the same information, wherever it is.
Plan an introduction- 07:00
The latest drawing on the tablet
The site manager opens the newest version of the drawing on site. Yesterday's change is already in it, so nobody works from an old print any more.
- 10:30
The subcontractor can take a look
A subcontractor gets access to only the project folder he needs. When the project ends, that access stops automatically.
- 13:00
Photos straight into the project
The engineer takes photos of the completed work. They appear in the right project folder straight away, so the office can complete the handover immediately.
- 16:30
Lost a phone? No need to panic
The device is locked and wiped remotely. The engineer gets a new device that is set up again automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about IT for construction and installation companies
Is your question not listed? Feel free to call us, we are happy to think along with you.
How do engineers on site get access to drawings and work orders?
By storing project information centrally and securely in the cloud, your team can open it anywhere on a laptop, tablet or phone. That way everyone always works with the latest version, without having to email files.
How do I share files securely with subcontractors?
Subcontractors get guest access to only the project folder they need. You stay in control of who can access what, and access stops when the project ends.
What if an engineer's phone or tablet gets lost?
Because the devices are managed centrally, we can lock or wipe them remotely. The business data is protected, and a new device is set up again quickly.
Can large files such as BIM models go in the cloud?
Many files work fine in the cloud. For large models and specific drawing software, we look together at which solution works best, so your team can work with them smoothly.
Do you also support business software such as Vakware or Syntess?
We take care of the environment your business software runs in: workstations, network, remote access, security and backup. For questions about how the package itself works, we coordinate with your software supplier, so you have one point of contact for your IT.
