With over 20 years of experience, we understand the unique demands of mid-sized firms—especially those ranging from 40 to 400 users, including MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) firms, General Contractors, and Sub Contractors. Our mission? To keep your projects moving forward with reliable, tailored IT support that maximizes efficiency and minimizes downtime.

Top IT Concerns for Construction and Engineering Firms

Engineering and construction firms operate in fast-paced environments where IT failures can bring projects to a standstill. The most pressing concerns include:

Downtime & System Performance Issues – Work doesn’t stop for bad weather or hardware failures. Teams need resilient IT solutions that ensure continuous operation, even in the face of natural disasters or unexpected outages.
Cybersecurity Threats & Ransomware Attacks – Proprietary blueprints, financial data, and client information must be protected from cyber threats. A breach can mean lost trust, legal consequences, and costly downtime.
Reliable Remote Work & Cloud Collaboration – Engineers and construction managers need seamless access to files and collaboration tools from any location—whether they’re at the office, on a job site, or working from home.

We tackle the most pressing IT challenges faced by engineering and construction firms, including:

Hardware Compatibility – Ensuring your workstations and networks are optimized for performance.
Software Updates & Licensing – Managing updates and streamlining license use to reduce downtime.
Cybersecurity & Compliance – Protecting sensitive project data with enterprise-grade security solutions.
Reliable Remote & On-Site Access – Supporting your diverse workforce with secure, flexible connectivity.

Customer Testimonials

Hiring Preactive has freed me to focus on the core of my business

Handling the day-to-day issues and having industry experts at my fingertips allows me to plan for future needs with better clarity. Technicians are technically savvy and tenacious when the bigger issues arise.

Joseph R. Routhier, P.E. Principal

Saved us thousands and thousands of dollars

Technology plays a great role in our business. We use AutoCAD to design full sales galleries, welcome centers and design centers for home builders and millwork for general contractors. We also use Microvellum to design parts that are then sent to our CNC machines. We have used Preactive IT to support our systems since 2006 very successfully.

Our CNC machines once went down on a weekend. I called Preactive IT. The President of the company showed up and fixed the problem saving us thousands and thousands of dollars.

Sometimes I call and they are walking in our door in ten minutes. I strongly recommend Preactive IT Solutions. They take excellent care of us!

David Daniels Director of Project Management
Quest Design & Fabrication

Available to help immediately with remote plant connectivity

Preactive IT Solutions always has competent staff available to help immediately when we have an issue in our main office or with connectivity to our remote plants. Technology issues now take less of my time since our employees call the help desk directly and get the support they need. After reviewing other IT firms, we selected Preactive IT Solutions for their superior response time and included services that would be an upcharge with their competitors.

Support calls result in immediate action

Calling the Preactive IT Solutions help desk with a question or issue always results in immediate action. We do not have to schedule an appointment or wait for a technician to get back to us and they do not hesitate to address the problem on-site, in-person if that is called for.

The Preactive IT Solutions staff demonstrate a level of knowledge and customer service superior to IT firms we have worked with in the past always giving straight forward answers. Solutions are explained and then implemented.

If your IT systems are maintained and working properly, you may never contact your IT company but you don’t want to be forgotten and when an issue arises you want to know that they will be there to support you quickly. Preactive IT Solutions is that company. They are there waiting for your needs, but also proactive about suggesting changes and improvements to your system.

Kevin Bruns P.E. Vice President
EBE Electrical/Mechanical Consulting Engineers

Preactive IT helps us move the company forward

At the end of the day, I need a trusted business advisor to help me make informed decisions so I can keep our firm growing. Preactive IT Solutions has given me improved flexibility, has reduced my monthly costs and helps us move the company forward. We want to concentrate on what we do and leave the IT things to someone else. We need it to work. We have found that with Charles Swihart and Preactive IT Solutions.
