Keep your projects on time, your teams connected, and your data protected.

Construction leaders in Florida, the Southeast and nationwide are transforming how their teams connect, collaborate, and protect project data, supported by Scarlett Group’s technology expertise every step of the way.

 


When Technology Lags, Projects Slip

Technology should accelerate preconstruction, keep jobsites connected, and give leadership real-time visibility. But many Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) firms face daily friction from:

❌  Disconnected Systems – Estimating, project management, and accounting don’t integrate, leaving decision-makers without a clear view of performance.
❌  Unreliable Jobsite Connectivity – Trailers with weak signals, inconsistent VPNs, and poor collaboration tools delay progress.
❌  Manual Workflows – Paper-based RFIs, submittals, and field reports waste time and increase risk of rework.
❌  Overloaded IT Staff – Supporting mobile teams and complex software environments drains internal resources.
❌  Cyber Threats – Ransomware and wire fraud target construction firms handling sensitive designs and payments.
❌  Compliance Gaps – Without IT governance, construction firms may face audit issues, data sprawl, and security vulnerabilities.

  •  
Cyber incidents in construction are skyrocketing—ransomware attacks have surged 41% and 48% annually over the past two years, according to Corvus Insurance. One breach can derail projects and cost millions in lost productivity and recovery. 

 

You drive the build. We ensure your technology keeps up.

Don’t Let Outdated Systems Undercut Your Next Project

In today’s construction landscape, technology isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. Delays, cost overruns, and compliance risks often stem from outdated systems and fragmented IT strategies. For AEC firms, the stakes are high:

  • Project Timelines: Every hour of downtime impacts delivery schedules and client trust.
  • Profit Margins: Inefficient workflows and unmanaged risk erode profitability.
  • Compliance & Security: Cyber threats and regulatory requirements demand proactive protection.
  • Reputation: One breach or failed project coordination can damage years of credibility.
