Managed IT For
Construction &
Field Operations
In San Diego.
Your crews don't work behind desks — and your IT shouldn't be designed for people who do. Dark Raven Labs builds rugged, reliable technology infrastructure that connects your jobsites, your field teams, and your office into one secure, managed network — so your projects stay on schedule and your data stays protected.
Construction IT In San Diego Is Held Together With Hotspots And Hope.
Most construction companies and field operations firms treat IT as an afterthought — a personal hotspot here, an unsecured tablet there, and a prayer that the plans sync before the pour starts. That works until it doesn't. And when it doesn't, it costs you schedule days, change orders, and client trust.
Unsecured Jobsite Networks
Personal hotspots and open WiFi on construction sites expose bid documents, contracts, blueprints, and financial data to anyone within range. One compromised device can give an attacker access to your entire project management platform.
Connectivity Failures During Critical Phases
When your field team can't access Procore, pull the latest drawings, or submit daily reports because the internet dropped, your project doesn't pause — it falls behind. Every hour of connectivity downtime on a commercial job costs thousands in labor standby.
No IT Strategy For Multi-Site Operations
Running three jobsites, a main office, and a yard with no centralized IT management means every site is its own island — different setups, different passwords, different problems. When your PM drives between sites, they shouldn't have to troubleshoot connectivity at every one.
Ransomware Targeting GCs and Subs
Construction is the #4 most-targeted industry for ransomware. Bid packages, contract documents, AIA forms, lien releases, and payroll data are high-value targets. If your backups aren't encrypted and tested, one click from a field worker shuts down your entire operation.
Managed IT & Cybersecurity Built For How Construction Actually Works.
Dark Raven Labs combines RavenEye managed IT, RavenWatch cybersecurity, and RavenCore infrastructure deployment into a single platform designed for general contractors, specialty subs, developers, and field operations firms across San Diego County.
Jobsite Connectivity
Ruggedized temporary network deployments with secure WiFi, cellular failover, and site-to-office VPN tunnels — engineered for dust, weather, and the reality that jobsites move every few months.
Construction Software Support
Direct support for Procore, PlanGrid, Bluebeam, Sage 300, Foundation, Viewpoint, BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, and other construction-specific platforms — updates, integrations, and vendor escalations handled.
Mobile Device Management
Every tablet, phone, and laptop your field team carries is enrolled, encrypted, remotely wipeable, and policy-enforced. Lost device on a jobsite? We lock it down in minutes, not days.
24/7 Monitoring & Support
Continuous monitoring of your office servers, cloud services, and jobsite equipment — with sub-15-minute response times during business hours. When a superintendent calls at 6 AM because email is down, we answer.
Ransomware-Resistant Backup
Encrypted BDR covering office servers, cloud data, and project management platforms with offsite replication and quarterly failover testing. Your bid documents, contracts, and payroll data survive any attack.
New Site Deployment & Decommission
RavenCore handles the physical build — network drops, WiFi deployment, trailer connectivity, camera systems — and tears it all down cleanly when the job closes out. Turnkey from mobilization to demob.
IT Requirements Are Now Written Into Your Contracts.
GCs, developers, and public agencies increasingly require cybersecurity controls, data protection policies, and IT documentation from their contractors and subcontractors. If you can't demonstrate compliance, you can't win the work.
CMMC / NIST 800-171
Cybersecurity Maturity Model CertificationRequired for DoD construction contracts and increasingly for civilian federal work in San Diego's defense corridor. Covers access controls, incident response, media protection, and system integrity across your IT environment.
PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry Data Security StandardApplies to any contractor processing credit card payments for client deposits, change orders, or material procurement. Covers network segmentation, encryption, and cardholder data protection.
GC Cybersecurity Requirements
Owner & General Contractor IT MandatesLarge GCs and developers — especially on healthcare, government, and institutional projects — now include cybersecurity and data protection clauses in subcontract agreements. Dark Raven Labs builds the infrastructure that satisfies those requirements.
Cyber Insurance Readiness
Meeting Underwriter RequirementsCyber insurance carriers now require MFA, endpoint protection, backup verification, and security awareness training before issuing or renewing policies. We implement every control your underwriter asks for — documented and audit-ready.

Questions From San Diego Contractors & Field Ops.
Need a jobsite-specific answer?
Talk To A Construction IT Engineer →Can you set up secure WiFi on a temporary construction jobsite?
Yes — and this is one of our core capabilities through RavenCore. We deploy ruggedized wireless access points, cellular failover connections, and site-to-office VPN tunnels that give your field team reliable, encrypted connectivity from day one. When the job closes out, we decommission and redeploy the equipment to your next site. The network is enterprise-grade, weather-rated, and secured the same way your office network is.
Do you support Procore, PlanGrid, and other construction platforms?
Yes. We provide direct support for Procore, PlanGrid (Autodesk Build), Bluebeam Revu, Sage 300 CRE, Foundation Software, Viewpoint Vista, BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, and other construction-specific tools. We handle updates, connectivity optimization, cloud sync troubleshooting, and vendor escalations so your PMs and superintendents can focus on building — not IT tickets.
How do you handle IT for a company with multiple active jobsites?
We manage your entire environment as one network — office, yard, and every active jobsite. Each site connects back to your core infrastructure through secure VPN tunnels. Your team uses the same credentials, the same file access, and the same security policies whether they're in the office or on a jobsite in Chula Vista. When you mobilize a new site, we deploy connectivity before your trailer arrives. When a job closes, we decommission and document.
What if a field worker loses a tablet or phone with project data on it?
Every mobile device enrolled in our MDM platform can be remotely locked and wiped within minutes of a reported loss. We enforce full-device encryption, passcode policies, and conditional access controls so that even if a device is physically compromised, the data on it is inaccessible. We also maintain a complete audit log of what data was on the device at the time of loss for your records and insurance.
Do we need cybersecurity if we're just a construction company?
Construction is the #4 most-targeted industry for ransomware and business email compromise. Your company processes payroll, handles bid documents, stores contracts with financial terms, and communicates with banks for draws and lien releases — all of which are high-value targets. A single BEC attack that redirects a wire transfer can cost six figures. Cybersecurity isn't optional anymore — it's a business survival requirement, and increasingly a contract requirement from GCs and owners.
How much does managed IT cost for a construction company in San Diego?
Construction-focused managed IT typically runs $100 to $200 per user per month depending on the number of active jobsites, field devices, construction platforms in use, and whether jobsite connectivity deployments are included. We provide detailed pricing after your free technology assessment so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.
Your Projects Run On Deadlines.
Your IT Should Run Ahead Of Them.
