Businesses we support

From first site start to settlement day

These businesses share the same underlying problem: work moves across many people, locations, systems and approvals. The details differ, so the IT environment needs to support the way each business actually operates.

Property developers

Feasibility · Consultants · Reporting

Property developers work across acquisitions, feasibility, consultants, legal teams, planners, builders, financiers, agents, sales teams, project managers and investor reporting.

The IT environment often includes Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, email, document folders, project reporting, external collaboration, property systems, finance workflows, payment approvals, due diligence material, consultant documents and long-running project records.

How Inlight IT helps

What we handle for your projects

These businesses don't need abstract IT advice. They need the technology around projects, sites, property records, mobile users and payment workflows to be secure, reliable and easier to manage.

Rapid site connectivity

Construction and project environments often need connectivity before permanent services are ready.

We help design and support temporary and semi-permanent site connectivity using the right mix of 5G, Starlink, SD-WAN, carrier services, firewalls, secure remote access and monitoring.

We get site teams connected quickly, then close the site network down cleanly when the project ends.

Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint structure

Microsoft 365 often becomes the working layer across project teams, property teams, site staff, agents, consultants, contractors and admin teams.

We help structure Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, email, shared mailboxes, permissions, external sharing, retention, endpoint access and backup so the environment supports how people actually work.

Project platforms and vendor coordination

Many property and construction businesses rely on specialist platforms: Procore, Aconex, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Bluebeam, Revit, strata platforms, property management systems, CRM, finance, telephony and reporting tools.

We don't replace those platform vendors. We look after what sits around them: access, Microsoft 365, secure sharing, backup and site connectivity.

Secure external access

Property and construction environments involve constant external access: consultants, subcontractors, JV partners, owners, strata committees, agents, vendors and temporary users.

We help structure access through Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, guest accounts, project folders and specialist platforms. That includes role-based permissions, time-bounded access, access review, logging, removal triggers and separation between project collaboration and sensitive commercial material.

Payment workflow protection

Progress claims, variations, supplier payments, rent-related workflows, campaign invoices and contractor payments are attractive targets for email compromise and supplier impersonation.

We help protect the identity, email and approval pathway around those payments. That may include MFA, Conditional Access, mailbox rule monitoring, forwarding review, delegated-access cleanup, supplier-domain impersonation protection, bank-detail verification process and separation between operational approval and payment-detail validation.

Backup, recovery and continuity

Property and construction work depends on email, project documents, Microsoft 365, platform records, finance data, site information, strata records, drawings, reports and client communications. Backups are only useful if the business can recover the right data in the right order.

We help review backup coverage, Microsoft 365 backup, application dependencies, restore evidence, identity recovery, recovery priority and incident response.

BIM, CDE and digital delivery support

BIM, CDE and digital delivery requirements often depend on the surrounding IT environment: access control, endpoint standards, large-file performance, secure sharing, version control, audit trails, backup, recovery and vendor coordination.

We support the IT-side controls around those requirements. We don't replace the BIM manager, project manager or document controller.

Building systems, CCTV and site IoT

Property and construction environments often include specialist systems such as CCTV, building automation, access control, site IoT, monitoring systems and contractor-managed technology.

We support the IT-side controls around those systems: segmentation, firewall policy, secure remote access, MFA, vendor access, monitoring and support pathways.

Where the work sits inside a specialist building, access-control or automation platform, we coordinate with the relevant vendor.
Proven in property and construction environments
150 users across office, remote and site work

Sydney office, remote users and construction sites on one identity model.

Ready from the first morning

Head office relocated, telephony and desks live before users arrived.

From break-fix to managed

JQZ moved from reactive support to a managed model with security built in.

Hybrid by workload, not by default

BIM and finance kept local where performance demanded.

Recent work

Projects we’ve supported

Façade & construction · Cloud migration and hybrid infrastructure
Australis Facade
150 users across office, remote and site work
Large design and BIM files and project finance systems carried performance and latency requirements that made a full lift-and-shift the wrong answer. We delivered a hybrid environment matched to those workloads, moving what belonged in the cloud and retaining on-premises infrastructure where performance demanded it.
Approximately 150 users migrated to a hybrid model, with performance-sensitive workloads kept where they run best.

JQZ
From reactive support to a managed model
Technology across head office, sales suites and project locations had been running on reactive, break-fix support that could not keep pace with a growing development business. We moved the environment onto a managed model with defined engineering ownership, proactive maintenance and security built into daily operations.
Engineering ownership and security in daily operations, not fixes after the fact.

Construction & building · Relocation IT
Southpac Constructions
Head office move, ready from day one
A head office relocation planned around business continuity, so connectivity, systems and user access were tested and in place before the team arrived. The move was sequenced so project, finance and procurement work could resume immediately in the new premises.
Headquarters relocated without a lost working day.

Why Inlight IT

Why builders and agencies work with us

We connect sites fast, keep project and property information controlled and make payment fraud much harder to pull off, from the first site start to project close.

01

Practical experience with project and property workflows

We understand environments built around sites, consultants, contractors, property records, agents, owners, committees, project platforms, shared inboxes and document-heavy collaboration. Our support is shaped around how the business works, not only the devices people use.

02

Engineering-led support, not ticket passing

Senior engineers look into recurring issues, site connectivity problems and access gaps properly, so they stay fixed.

03

Secure access across many parties

Property and construction work involves many internal and external users. Subcontractors and consultants can collaborate safely, with MFA, Conditional Access and guest access set up properly.

04

Payment workflow and email compromise awareness

Payment workflows are a real exposure point in property and construction environments. We look at mailbox exposure, identity controls, supplier change processes, delegated access, forwarding rules and verification discipline together.

05

Backup and recovery for project-critical information

Project files, finance records, property data, email, drawings, strata documents and platform exports need a recovery position that can be understood and tested. We help review coverage, restore evidence and recovery priority before the business is under pressure.

06

Clear visibility for decision-makers

Directors and project leaders get a straight answer on what's stable, where the risk is and what to fix first.

Common questions

What property and construction teams ask us

On site connectivity, project platforms, Microsoft 365, external access, payment workflow protection, BIM and CDE, strata systems and where our work meets specialist vendors.

Can you help get a construction site connected quickly?
Yes. We help with rapid site connectivity using the right mix of 5G, Starlink, SD-WAN, carrier services, firewall policy, secure remote access, monitoring and closure planning. The aim is to avoid uncontrolled site-start workarounds that become permanent.
Do you support Procore, Aconex, Autodesk Construction Cloud or Bluebeam?
We manage identity, devices, Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, permissions, secure sharing, backup and site connectivity around those platforms, and take it to the vendor when an issue sits inside their system. Where configuration sits inside the platform itself, we coordinate with the relevant vendor or internal platform owner.
Can you help with JV partner, consultant and contractor access?
Yes. We help structure external access across Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, guest accounts, project folders and specialist platforms. That includes role-based permissions, time-bounded access, access review, logging, removal triggers and separation between project collaboration and sensitive commercial material.
Can you help protect progress claims, variations and supplier payments?
Yes. We help protect the identity, email and approval pathway around payment workflows. That may include MFA, Conditional Access, mailbox rule monitoring, forwarding review, delegated-access cleanup, supplier-domain impersonation protection, bank-detail verification process and separation between operational approval and payment-detail validation.
Do the AML/CTF Tranche 2 rules affect real estate agencies and developers?
Yes, for certain services. Since 1 July 2026, real estate professionals, including agents and property developers, have AML/CTF obligations for designated services: customer due diligence, suspicious matter reporting and seven-year record keeping. We build the technology around it: intake and screening workflows in Microsoft 365, controlled record storage and evidence you can produce when asked.
Can you help real estate agencies with mobile users and shared inboxes?
Yes. We support Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, shared mailboxes, mobile device access, Conditional Access, MFA, endpoint protection, backup, recovery and vendor coordination across CRM, property management, finance and telephony systems.
Can you help strata firms manage committee, owner and contractor access?
Yes. We help structure Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, strata platform support pathways, external sharing, guest access, committee documents, owner correspondence, contractor quotes, maintenance workflows, payment controls and long-running records.
Do you support BIM and CDE requirements?
Yes, on the IT systems side. We support Microsoft 365, SharePoint, access control, audit trails, version control, secure sharing, endpoint standards, backup, recovery, large-file performance, remote access and vendor coordination around BIM, CDE and digital delivery requirements. We don't replace the BIM manager, project manager or document controller.
Can you help with CCTV, building automation, access control or site IoT?
Yes, around the IT-side controls: segmentation, firewall policy, secure remote access, MFA, vendor access, monitoring and support pathways. Where the work sits inside a specialist building system, access-control platform or automation system, we coordinate with the relevant specialist vendor.
Can you help with cyber insurance and Essential Eight evidence?
Yes. We help align identity controls, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365 security, backup, restore evidence and access governance with what insurers, financiers and leadership teams ask to see. The aim is practical evidence rather than verbal reassurance.
