Sound familiar?
From the site office to the back office, here's what we hear from construction firms every week:
Your QSs and site managers can't pull drawings, RAMS or programme updates because the cabin has no usable broadband or 4G. Every delay costs the project.
Main contractors and public-sector clients won't award the contract without it, and your current IT provider can't (or won't) get you certified quickly.
Construction is one of the most-targeted sectors for invoice fraud. One spoofed supplier email to accounts and you're chasing five-figure payments back from another bank.
Revit, AutoCAD and Bluebeam files take ages to open or sync. Your design team is paid to draw, not wait for SharePoint to spin.
Devices walk off jobs. Without proper mobile management, that's not just a £600 phone. It's company emails, supplier passwords and project data on the loose.
One click on the wrong attachment and the office is offline for days. Payroll, valuations and supplier payments all stop, and so does the job.
It doesn't have to be like this. Magnetar is built to support construction firms on site, in the office, and on every device in between.
How we help
No generic SLAs and ticket portals. Practical IT for muddy boots, busy offices and tight programmes.
Reliable 4G/5G failover, point-to-point links and Wi-Fi for site cabins so your team can actually work.
We get you certified, fast, so you're winning tenders, not losing them on the technical questionnaire.
SharePoint and Teams set up the right way for drawings, RAMS, O&Ms and project handovers, with proper version control.
Phones, tablets and laptops managed centrally. Encrypted, trackable, and wipeable if they walk off site.
Real engineers based in the UK answering the phone. Average response time 15 minutes, 89% resolved within the hour.
We work alongside your existing systems: Sage, Xero, Eque2, COINS, RedSky, Causeway, Bluebeam, AutoCAD & Revit.
One predictable per-user cost. No surprise call-out fees, no "plus VAT plus parts plus time" nonsense at month end.
Drawings, financials and project data backed up every day, and tested. If ransomware hits, you're back to work in hours, not weeks.
Who we work with
If you recognise your business in any of these, we'll be a great fit.
Tendering, programme, document control and a head office that needs to stay online.

Remote sites, harsh conditions, plant tracking and crews that need to be reachable.
Sales offices, site offices, finance and design: multiple teams that all need to talk.
Heavy CAD/BIM file usage, client confidentiality and tight project deadlines.
Cladding, scaffolding, roofing, joinery. Small office, big jobs, no time for IT mess.

Frequently asked
Yes. Most of our clients came from another IT provider. We'll give you a no-obligation health check now and plan a smooth switchover for whenever your contract ends, including the bit where the old provider is supposed to hand things over and doesn't.
If your setup is broadly in good shape, we typically get clients certified within 2 to 4 weeks of starting. If there's remediation work needed first, we'll tell you up front exactly what's required and how long it'll take.
Yes. We don't try to replace the systems your business runs on. We keep them working, talk to the vendors when needed, and make sure your team has the kit and access to actually use them properly.
This is one of the most common things we sort. We design site connectivity around what's actually available (fixed broadband, 4G/5G failover, point-to-point links) so your team gets a usable connection from day one of the project.
No. We work on a rolling agreement with a sensible notice period. We'd rather you stay because we're great at what we do, not because you're locked in.
It's a fixed monthly cost based on the number of users and what you need (support, security, backup, Microsoft 365, etc.). You'll know exactly what you're paying before you sign anything, and your bill doesn't go up when something goes wrong.
That's fine too. We do project work, Cyber Essentials certification, Microsoft 365 set-up and office moves as standalone pieces of work. Give us a call and tell us what you need.
