Engineering and Construction

Every site connected. Every drawing protected.

Projects start in temporary conditions and finish under scrutiny. We mobilise site technology quickly, protect design and commercial data across the supply chain, and support teams who work from vehicles, cabins and client sites.

Why they work with us

Technology that mobilises as fast as the project does.

Construction and engineering businesses lose money in the first weeks of a project and in the last weeks of a claim. We make site mobilisation repeatable and keep the design and commercial record intact for both.

What we take responsibility for

Four missions in engineering and construction.

  • Rapid site mobilisation

    Connectivity, devices, identity and access for a new site delivered as a productised workstream with a known timeline and cost.

  • Design and commercial data

    Drawings, models and contract records held with version control, controlled sharing and retention that survives the project.

  • Mobile and field teams

    Devices and applications that work from a cabin or a vehicle, with offline tolerance and secure identity.

  • Supply chain security

    Controlled collaboration with subcontractors, consultants and clients, without unmanaged file transfer becoming the norm.

The pressures that shape the sector

What engineering and construction leaders are contending with.

Project businesses run distributed, temporary and contractual. Technology has to match that shape rather than fight it.

  • Temporary sites

    A site exists for months, needs connectivity in days, and then has to be decommissioned cleanly with the data retained.

  • Heavy design files

    Models and drawings are large and frequently revised, which punishes weak connectivity and loose version control.

  • Extended supply chain

    Subcontractors and consultants need access to some project data and none of the rest, on time-bound terms.

  • Contractual evidence

    Disputes and claims turn on the record, so retention and integrity of project data carry direct commercial value.

  • Mobile workforce

    Site teams work outdoors, in vehicles and in poor coverage, often on shared or rugged devices.

  • Thin margins

    Project margins leave little room for technology overspend, so cost per site must be predictable.

How the engagement runs

From improvised site setup to a repeatable mobilisation, in five steps.

  1. Assess

    Business Technology Assessment across estate, risk, cost and capability.

  2. Stabilise

    Close critical exposure and bring monitoring, backup and support to a known-good standard.

  3. Standardise

    Common platforms, identity and images. Reduce variability before adding capability.

  4. Optimise

    Automation and governed AI applied where they measurably earn their keep.

  5. Run

    24/7 service, quarterly business reviews and a costed roadmap the business signs off.

What good looks like

The evidence the business can point to.

  • Mobilisation playbook

    A defined pack for new-site setup, refit and decommissioning with fixed timelines and known cost.

  • Project data retained

    Design and commercial records held with version history and retention that outlives the site.

  • Time-bound partner access

    Subcontractors and consultants granted scoped access that expires, with an audit trail.

  • Field-ready devices

    Hardware and applications specified for site conditions, managed centrally and replaced on a known cycle.

FAQs

Common questions from engineering and construction.

How quickly can you set up a new site?

Site mobilisation runs as a productised workstream covering connectivity, devices, identity and access, with the timeline agreed against your programme dates so property and operations teams can plan around it.

Can you support sites with poor connectivity?

Yes. We specify resilient connectivity options including cellular failover, and we select applications and sync patterns that tolerate intermittent coverage.

How do you protect design models and drawings?

Through controlled repositories with version history, scoped external sharing, and retention rules that keep the record intact for claims and defect periods after handover.

Can subcontractors and consultants be given safe access?

Yes. Partner access is scoped to the project data they need, granted on time-bound terms and logged, rather than handled through ad hoc file transfer.

What happens when a project ends?

We decommission the site cleanly, recover devices, revoke access and retain the project record to your agreed retention policy so it remains available if a claim arises.

Do you support rugged and shared devices?

Yes. Shared and rugged devices are enrolled, managed and secured centrally, with identity handled so a shared device does not mean shared accountability.

How is this priced across a variable project portfolio?

Through the NumataOne™ tiers with a defined per-site mobilisation cost, so technology scales up and down with the project book predictably.
