Technology Support for the People Building Southeastern Wisconsin.

Builders and contractors typically need help desk support for office and field staff, device and endpoint management, Microsoft 365 administration for project collaboration, email and cybersecurity protection, backup and recovery planning, and reliable internet and Wi-Fi at office and shop locations. Many also need structured cabling, security cameras, access control, and conference room AV for their facilities. Brew City PC provides all of these under one relationship.

Microsoft 365 — specifically Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive — is the most practical solution for most construction businesses. Teams channels can be set up per project for real-time communication. SharePoint provides a centralized, version-controlled home for project documents. OneDrive gives field staff access to files from phones and tablets. We deploy and manage these tools properly so your team actually gets the collaboration benefit, not just another app nobody uses.

Yes. SharePoint and OneDrive, set up correctly, replace the scattered file structure of shared drives and email attachments with a centralized, accessible, version-controlled document environment. The right person always has the current version of the plans. Field staff can access files on their phone. And when a project is complete, the full documentation is organized and preserved. We handle setup, migration, and ongoing management.

The most important protections for construction companies are multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all accounts, managed endpoint protection on all devices, email security and anti-phishing controls, and properly configured Microsoft 365 security settings. These controls stop the most common attacks targeting construction businesses — especially business email compromise, where attackers impersonate owners or vendors to redirect payments.

At minimum: MFA across all accounts, managed endpoint protection, email security filtering, backup and recovery, and some form of security awareness training for staff. Many insurers now require these as conditions of coverage. We build these protections into every managed IT engagement — and conduct annual vulnerability assessments to identify gaps before they become incidents.

Yes. Mobile device support — including setup, security configuration, and remote access — is a standard part of our managed IT services. We make sure field staff can access the systems they need, from the devices they’re using, without creating security gaps.

Yes. We support multi-location organizations throughout Southeastern Wisconsin, providing consistent IT support, monitoring, and security management across all sites — office, shop, and job trailer alike.

Our Low Voltage team designs and installs IP camera systems and access control for commercial environments — including construction offices, equipment yards, garages, and facilities. Remote viewing, audit trails, and credential-based door security are standard features.

Cyber insurance underwriters are requiring more specific security controls than ever before — MFA, endpoint protection, email security, tested backups, and documented security policies. We help construction companies understand what their insurer requires, implement the right controls, and document everything for the renewal process.

Three things. First, we understand the construction industry — we’re members of the Metropolitan Builders Association and have built long-term relationships with home builders, general contractors, remodelers, and trade contractors across Southeastern Wisconsin. Second, we handle both IT and physical infrastructure — structured cabling, Wi-Fi, cameras, access control, and AV — so you’re not managing separate vendors for every system. Third, we provide ongoing support and strategic planning, not just reactive fixes. One local partner, one long-term relationship, one team that knows your business.
