IT services for construction and engineering firms in Florida.
Managed IT and cybersecurity built for Florida construction companies and civil engineering firms: jobsite and field-device support, project data security, and hurricane-season business continuity planning so a named storm does not become a lost bid or a lost project file. Remote-first, with on-site work scheduled and coordinated per project. Serving firms statewide, with concentration in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville.
Built for Florida's building and infrastructure industry, storm season included
Florida's construction industry added the most construction jobs of any state from March to April 2026, and firms statewide added roughly 64,000 construction jobs over the trailing 12 months (AGC Florida East Coast, July 2026; AGC Florida East Coast, June 2026). Every one of those firms, and the civil engineering companies (ACEC Florida represents more than 300 member firms across the state) designing the infrastructure behind them, runs project deadlines and client data through a six-month window when a named storm can knock out power, connectivity, or a branch office without notice.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 every year (NOAA). TDS-IS builds continuity planning around that calendar as a standing part of managed service, not a special project: immutable, geographically separated backups for project files, submittals, and CAD data; documented phone and email failover so a landfall event does not stop a bid deadline; and a pre-season checklist covering device evacuation, UPS and generator dependency, and a tested cloud failover, so storm prep happens in May, not the week a cone of uncertainty includes your jobsite.
On being honest about local presence: TDS-IS is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and does not operate a Florida office. Support is remote-first: 24/7 monitoring and helpdesk, a 15-minute remote response SLA, and on-site work scheduled and coordinated project by project when a physical visit is genuinely required. If your firm needs same-day local dispatch as a baseline requirement, we will tell you that directly on the assessment call rather than overstate our footprint.
IT services for construction companies in Florida
Managed IT built around how a general contractor or subcontractor actually operates: a superintendent in a jobsite trailer, a PM pulling drawings on a tablet, and a back office running bids, payroll, and change orders that cannot afford downtime.
Jobsite & Field Connectivity
Reliable mobile and jobsite trailer connectivity, VPN access to project servers, and device management for field crews working outside a fixed office.
Project Management Platform Support
Support for Procore, Sage, Foundation, and similar estimating and project management platforms, including integrations, user provisioning, and access control.
Mobile Device Management
Superintendent and PM tablets and phones enrolled, secured, and remotely wiped if lost on a jobsite, without slowing down field work.
Bid & Project Data Security
Access controls and encryption on bid documents, subcontractor agreements, and project financials, reducing exposure from a lost device or a phished estimator.
Cyber Insurance Defensibility
MFA, MDR/SOC, immutable backups, and documented evidence built to satisfy carrier renewal questionnaires and increasingly common GC-to-sub security requirements.
Hurricane-Season Continuity
Geographically separated backups, tested failover, and a pre-season checklist so a named storm does not take project data down with the power.
IT support for civil engineering firms in Florida
Civil engineering and land surveying firms run on CAD, GIS, and BIM workstations, large plan-set files, and public-agency data-handling expectations. That is a different IT profile than a general commercial office, and it is treated as one.
CAD / GIS / BIM Workstation Support
Workstation performance tuning, licensing management, and hardware specification for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and BIM platforms.
Large File & Plan Set Management
Fast, secure transfer and storage for plan sets, survey data, and drone or LiDAR captures between office, field crews, and public agencies.
Field Survey Device Connectivity
Secure connectivity and data sync for field survey equipment and mobile devices, reducing round-trip time between the field and the drafting desk.
Client & Infrastructure Data Security
Access controls and encryption for design IP, client data, and public infrastructure documentation, with audit trails for who accessed what and when.
Public-Agency Data Handling
Documentation and controls built to support the data-handling expectations of municipal, county, and state agency clients on public infrastructure work.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Immutable, geographically separated backups for design files and project archives, tested on a schedule, not assumed.
Proven on both sides of the table
We do not name clients on public pages without confirmed use rights. Reference details are available on request during the assessment call.
Frequently asked questions
Does TDS-IS have a local office in Florida?
No, and we will not tell you otherwise. TDS-IS is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and serves Florida construction and civil engineering firms remote-first: 24/7 monitoring, a 15-minute remote response SLA, and on-site work scheduled and coordinated per project when a physical visit is required. If same-day local dispatch is a hard requirement for your firm, say so during the assessment call and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
How does TDS-IS keep construction and engineering firms running through hurricane season?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30 (NOAA). We build business continuity around it: immutable, geographically separated backups for project files, submittals, and CAD data; documented failover for phone and email so a branch office outage does not stop bid deadlines; and a pre-storm checklist covering device evacuation, power/UPS status, and cloud failover testing so a landfall event does not become a data-loss event on top of a jobsite shutdown.
What does managed IT include for a Florida general contractor?
24/7 monitoring and helpdesk, mobile device management for superintendents and project managers in the field, support for estimating and project management platforms such as Procore, Sage, and Foundation, secure remote access to project data from jobsite trailers, and cybersecurity controls (MFA, EDR, backup, security awareness training) built to satisfy cyber insurance renewal questionnaires and GC-to-sub risk requirements.
Do you support civil engineering firms that run CAD, GIS, or BIM software?
Yes. We support the workstation performance, licensing, and storage requirements of CAD, GIS, and BIM environments, plus large plan-set and survey-file transfer between the office and the field. We are a member-firm-adjacent partner to the workflows ACEC Florida member firms run day to day, though TDS-IS is an IT provider, not an ACEC member itself.
Which Florida markets does TDS-IS serve?
We serve construction and civil engineering firms statewide, with concentration in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Coverage is remote-first and not limited by metro; if your firm operates in Florida, we can support it.
Can TDS-IS make our IT defensible for a cyber insurance renewal?
Yes. Construction and engineering firms carry cyber insurance exposure from project financial systems, client data, and increasingly from GC-mandated vendor security requirements passed down to subs. Our Carrier-Ready Bundle builds and documents the controls (MFA, MDR/SOC, immutable backups, security awareness training) that current renewal applications ask about, with the evidence trail to back the application up.
