IT and comms for Saltash construction firms

Half your team is on site or on the road across Cornwall and Plymouth, the other half is in the Saltash office — and they all need to be reachable. We build IT and phones that join the two, supported remotely wherever the work is.

A Saltash builder, groundworker or contractor runs in two worlds at once: an office that manages jobs, and sites and vehicles strung out either side of the Tamar where the work actually happens. With the town's position bridging Cornwall and Plymouth, keeping the two connected — one number, shared files, reachable on the road — is where most IT setups fall down. We build for that split, and because it's all cloud-managed, distance from us makes no difference to how it runs.

One number, office or site

With a cloud phone system, your team carries one number whether they're at a desk in Saltash, on a site across the river in Plymouth or in the van. Customers and suppliers reach the right person without juggling mobiles, and nothing falls through the gaps. We set it up and support it remotely, so a change to the call flow doesn't mean waiting for someone to drive down.

Files and security that follow the job

Drawings, quotes and job files are no use stuck on an office PC. We set up Microsoft 365 so the team works from the latest files on site, secured and backed up, and put Cyber Essentials and tested backups around the contracts and client details worth protecting. Proactive remote support keeps the office running, with planned visits for anything that needs hands on it.

Local to Saltash

Saltash is about 55 minutes from our Exeter base, close enough for us to be there in person when it matters and set up to handle most things securely online.

What we handle

What Saltash construction businesses come to us for

Office and site, joined up

Project managers in the office, crews on site — they have to work as one. We set up phones and Microsoft 365 so calls, files and messages flow between the two without anyone chasing.

Reachable on the road

Half the team is rarely at a desk. A cloud phone system gives everyone one number on their mobile, so customers and suppliers reach the right person whether they're on site or driving.

Files available on site

Drawings, quotes and job sheets are no use stuck on an office PC. We set up Microsoft 365 so the latest files are available on site, secured and backed up — not emailed around in versions.

Connectivity for the office

The office that runs the jobs needs a reliable connection for its phones, cloud apps and email. We size the right connectivity with failover so the hub doesn't go quiet.

Securing the business

Quotes, contracts and client details are worth protecting, and construction isn't immune to attack. Cyber Essentials and tested backups close off the common risks.
