Cybercrime Is Now a Construction Problem

Construction companies are no longer just competing for bids they’re competing against hackers. Industry reports reveal that cyberattacks are costing construction firms millions each year through downtime, stolen data, and delayed projects.

If your projects rely on digital blueprints, cloud-based project management, or even jobsite Wi-Fi, you’re a prime target. The question isn’t if a cyberattack will hit, but when.

👉 That’s why leading construction firms are now turning to specialized managed IT and cybersecurity partners like Intelecis to stay protected, compliant, and profitable.

The Real Cost of a Cyberattack in Construction

1. Downtime That Halts Projects

Every hour your systems are down = crews idle, deliveries delayed, and milestones missed. For large projects, this can mean hundreds of thousands lost in a single day.

2. Delayed Contracts & Penalties

A ransomware attack can stall your ability to submit reports or meet deadlines. Missed deadlines often trigger contract penalties that eat into margins.

3. Stolen Data = Broken Trust

Hackers don’t just want money, they want data. Construction firms hold sensitive blueprints, vendor info, and even employee payroll records. A breach erodes trust with clients and investors.

4. Rising Insurance & Compliance Costs

Cyber insurance premiums spike after an incident. Some clients now require proof of cybersecurity standards before awarding contracts.

Why Construction Companies Are Prime Targets

  • Reliance on remote jobsite connectivity and mobile devices.

  • Growing use of cloud-based project management platforms.

  • Historically weaker cybersecurity investment compared to industries like finance or healthcare.

Hackers know construction is vulnerable and they’re cashing in.
