IT Support for Construction
Managed IT support from people who know your setup. When you call, somebody picks up. We keep watch on your network and servers, so most problems get fixed before they turn into an outage. Job costs live in spreadsheets and change orders in email, so the margin shows up after the job is done.
Does Imagi-Tech do IT Support for contractors and builders?
Yes. Imagi-Tech provides managed IT support to contractors and builders across ten Ohio markets, from our office in Marietta, Ohio. We scope and quote each project after a free audit. The problem it addresses: job costs live in spreadsheets and change orders in email, so the margin shows up after the job is done.
Sound familiar?

- The "computer guy" is whoever is least busy that morning
- Backups exist, but nobody has ever tested a restore

The systems we end up in
Most contractors and builders run some version of these four. Our IT Support work usually starts with getting them to share data.
Estimating and bid tracking
Job costing and committed costs
Change orders and RFIs
Field time and equipment logs
What changes
- Job costs you can check on any day of the month
- Change orders that get signed and priced before they are billed
- Field hours that land in payroll without retyping
How we work
IT Support, cut into four pieces
Free audit
We walk your network, servers, backups, and licenses, then write up in plain language which parts could fail you on a bad morning.
Stabilize
We get patching and monitoring in place and run a test restore from your backup while you watch. The noisiest problems get handled first.
Standardize
We document each setup and take over the vendor calls. Tickets go to one place, and a new hire sits down at a working computer on day one.
Stay ahead
We meet monthly to plan hardware purchases around your budget. When you call, the person who answers already knows your setup.
Proof
Work like this, written up
Each write-up explains what the client was up against and how our fix turned out.
Force Electric, Inc.
Force Electric runs crews across a multi-state territory, and their time tracking has to satisfy union reporting. They adopted FalconSnap early and helped shape the product.
Website Rebuild & Logo DesignDynotec, Inc.
New management wanted a rebrand, and the site was all steel greys and drab blue. We designed a new logo and custom icons, then rebuilt the site to be responsive and look like it belongs to an engineering firm.

Rebuild Static Site in WordPressKelly Lang Contractors, Inc.
On static HTML, changing a phone number took a developer. We kept the design and user flow, and staff can now edit the site with no training.

Questions we get asked
About IT Support for Construction
What is included in managed IT support?
Help desk with a person answering, network and server monitoring, backup and disaster recovery with restores that get tested, security patching, and vendor management. The scope is agreed in writing before anything is billed.
Do you replace our IT person, or work alongside them?
Either one. Plenty of clients keep someone in-house and call us for the projects that person has no hours for, like a migration or after-hours cover. If you have no IT staff at all, we handle the whole job.
How quickly do you respond when something breaks?
We agree response times with you in writing at the start and set them to your business hours. A sawmill has a different hour that can't slip than an insurance agency does, so we don't publish one number for every client.
What happens in the first week?
A free audit. We walk through the network, servers, backups and licences and write up, in plain language, which parts could fail you on a bad morning. You keep that report whether you hire us or not.
Are we too small for managed IT support?
Almost certainly not. Most of our clients are businesses where the person in charge of technology is in charge of three other things too, and we built the process around that person.
Where does Imagi-Tech work?
We work out of 200 Putnam St, Suite 201, Marietta, Ohio, and cover ten markets across Ohio. Most work happens remotely because it is faster, and we schedule on-site time when hands on hardware will help.
What if the person who built our current setup has left?
That is the normal case, and we handle it often. We document what you have from the outside, based on what it does, and the people who use it every day are usually the best source.
What does IT Support cost?
Scope decides it, so the free audit comes before any number. You get a fixed written quote before anything is billed, and you keep the audit whether or not you hire us. Digital Marketing is the one exception, sold at a published monthly price.
