IT services for real estate and construction in Hyderabad
The building boom on Hyderabad's western side has put developer and contractor offices right next to what they are building, around Kokapet and the Neopolis layout, Tellapur, Narsingi and the Financial District fringe. The IT problem is unusual: the head office is stable, but the sites that generate the work move every few months.
The systems developers, contractors and project offices actually run
Support only works if the provider knows what is on the network. This is the stack we expect to find, and the one we scope against.
- Project management and scheduling platforms shared with contractors
- CAD and BIM workstations with very large files
- Document control for drawings, revisions and approvals
- Site office connectivity, frequently temporary
- Mobile devices for site engineers and supervisors
- Accounting and procurement tied to project cost codes
What constrains IT decisions in real estate and construction
- Sites appear and disappear
- A site office needs connectivity, devices and access quickly, then needs decommissioning cleanly when the project finishes. Neither tends to be planned.
- Drawing files are large and heavily revised
- CAD and BIM files strain storage, backup windows and any attempt to work on them over a slow link. Revision control is a business risk, not a filing preference.
- Many external parties need access
- Architects, consultants and subcontractors all need some access to project material, and almost nobody has a process for removing it afterwards.
What we find going wrong
These are the recurring failures across the real estate and construction estates we have taken on. If several of them are familiar, the pattern is more common than it feels.
- Site offices connected via a consumer dongle with no security and no monitoring
- Drawings held locally on a site machine, outside any backup
- Contractor accounts left active long after the project completed
- Backup windows that never finish because of BIM file sizes
- Devices lost from sites with no remote wipe and no encryption
How we deal with each of those
Site offices connected via a consumer dongle with no security and no monitoring. We find it during the audit and fix it before it becomes an incident, rather than discovering it in a post-mortem. For developers, contractors and project offices that matters because sites appear and disappear leaves very little room when site offices connected via a consumer dongle with no security and no monitoring is the thing that fails.
Drawings held locally on a site machine, outside any backup. It goes into the monitored baseline, so the failure is caught by an alert instead of by a user. For developers, contractors and project offices that matters because drawing files are large and heavily revised leaves very little room when drawings held locally on a site machine is the thing that fails.
Contractor accounts left active long after the project completed. We remediate it and then document the control, so it can be evidenced rather than asserted. For developers, contractors and project offices that matters because many external parties need access leaves very little room when contractor accounts left active long after the project completed is the thing that fails.
Backup windows that never finish because of BIM file sizes. It becomes a scheduled, owned task under the contract rather than nobody in particular being responsible for it. For developers, contractors and project offices that matters because sites appear and disappear leaves very little room when backup windows that never finish because of BIM file sizes is the thing that fails.
Devices lost from sites with no remote wipe and no encryption. We design it out, because responding to the same fault repeatedly costs more than fixing the cause once. For developers, contractors and project offices that matters because drawing files are large and heavily revised leaves very little room when devices lost from sites with no remote wipe and no encryption is the thing that fails.
What the first weeks look like
We build the repeatable site-office pattern first, so the next project does not start from scratch: a defined kit, a connectivity plan and an access model that can be stood up in days. Head office work runs in parallel, usually starting with storage and backup, because CAD and BIM volumes are the reason your backups have not been completing.
Nothing is quoted from a rate card. We audit the estate, tell you plainly what we found, and price the work the audit justifies. If part of it is not worth doing, we say so at the quoting stage rather than after you have paid for it.
What we deliver for real estate and construction
- Rapid site office setup
- A repeatable build for connectivity, devices and access, so a new site is productive in days rather than weeks.
- Clean project offboarding
- A defined decommissioning process that recovers hardware and revokes access when a project closes.
- Storage sized for CAD and BIM
- Storage and backup designed around actual file sizes, with backup windows that complete.
- Controlled external access
- Time-bound, scoped access for consultants and subcontractors, reviewed and revoked on schedule.
- Managed mobile devices
- Site devices enrolled and encrypted with remote wipe, because they do get lost.
- Document control support
- SharePoint or your document platform configured for revision control that survives an audit of who approved what.
When we can touch your systems
Head office work runs to a normal schedule. Site work is planned around the construction programme, since a site office cannot lose connectivity during a pour or an inspection.
