At Aura Advanced Technologies, construction companies across Alberta typically invest $150–$225 per user per month for managed IT services. Pricing depends on company size, number of active job sites, cybersecurity requirements, and defined response-time expectations.
Unlike standard office environments, construction operations rely on remote job sites, trailers, mobile supervisors, and uptime-critical systems that cannot afford prolonged disruption. Aura’s construction-focused IT model is designed specifically for Alberta-based companies operating across multiple locations.
This page outlines how Aura structures construction IT services, what components are required to support job-site environments, how pricing is built, and what Alberta construction companies can expect when partnering with a specialized IT provider that understands field operations.
How Much Does Managed IT Cost for a Construction Company in Alberta?
Most Alberta construction companies with 10–250 employees invest between $4,000 and $8,000+ per month in managed IT services, depending on the number of users, active job sites, and required security coverage.
At Aura Advanced Technologies, construction IT costs are typically made up of the following components:
Managed IT Support
Helpdesk support, proactive monitoring, and user/device management.
Microsoft 365 Licensing
Email, identity, file access, and security administration.
Initial IT Setup
Environment cleanup, documentation, and security hardening.
What IT Services Do Construction Companies Actually Need
Generic MSP plans are built for static office environments. Construction companies require additional services to support field operations and protect project data.
Construction-specific IT services include:
- Job-site and trailer network connectivity
- Secure remote access for field supervisors and managers
- Cloud access to drawings, project files, and documentation
- Device and identity security for mobile users
- Proactive monitoring to prevent downtime during active projects
Without construction-focused IT, companies face delays, security risks, and productivity loss across job sites.
Supporting a 200-Employee Alberta Construction Company
A growing Alberta construction company operating 4 active job sites and 1 head office was experiencing recurring IT disruptions. With over 200 Microsoft 365 users and remote access required across all locations, downtime was affecting productivity and project coordination.
The Challenge
- Intermittent job-site connectivity
- Slow response to technical issues
- Limited visibility into system health
- Increasing cybersecurity risks from mobile users
The Solution
A structured managed IT program was implemented, including proactive monitoring, defined 4-hour SLA response times, secure remote access configuration, and strengthened Microsoft 365 security controls.
The Result
- Reduced downtime across job sites
- Improved system visibility and accountability
- Stronger security posture
- More predictable IT support experience
With stable systems and clear response expectations, project managers were able to focus on delivering projects instead of troubleshooting technology.
