A managed service provider (MSP) in San Diego gives your firm ongoing IT support so you don't have to hire a full-time IT team or wait for something to break before getting help. We handle monitoring, help desk, backup, patching, and security on a predictable monthly plan. No surprise invoices, no hourly billing for routine work.
We focus exclusively on architects, contractors, and construction companies. That means we already know your tools and your workflows. Procore, Autodesk, Bluebeam, Sage, PlanGrid, and the rest of the AEC stack are part of our daily work. You won't spend months training us on your industry.
What our MSP covers
Our baseline managed IT plan includes everything a mid-size AEC firm needs to stay productive and secure:
- 24/7 monitoring and alerting. We watch your servers, workstations, network devices, and cloud services around the clock. When something goes wrong, we usually know before you do.
- Help desk support. Your team calls or emails, and they talk to someone who knows construction and architecture software. No generic call center.
- Backup and disaster recovery. We protect your project files, email, accounting data, and business systems with automated backups and tested recovery procedures.
- Patching and updates. We keep your operating systems, applications, and firmware current to close security gaps without disrupting your workday.
- Endpoint protection. Every device gets managed antivirus, DNS filtering, and endpoint detection and response (EDR).
- Vendor management. We deal with your internet provider, phone system, copier company, and software vendors so you don't have to sit on hold.
Beyond the basics
Most AEC firms need more than just monitoring and help desk. That's why we also offer compliance and cybersecurity (NIST SP 800-171, CMMC, SOC 2), AI implementation and training, and custom integrations between your project management, accounting, and design tools.
If you're bidding on government or DOD-adjacent work, compliance isn't optional. We build NIST and CMMC readiness into your managed IT from the start, so you're not scrambling to pass an audit later. And if you're curious about AI for takeoffs, document review, or scheduling, we can assess where it fits and help your team adopt it safely.

If there's a fit, we onboard your team, document your environment, and take over your IT operations. Most firms are fully onboarded within two to three weeks.
You get a dedicated point of contact who knows your firm, plus access to our full support team. We handle the day-to-day so you can focus on winning and delivering projects.
Frequently asked questions
What does a managed service provider do for construction and architecture firms?
An MSP handles your day-to-day IT so your team can focus on projects. That includes 24/7 monitoring, help desk support, backup and disaster recovery, patching, endpoint protection, and vendor management. We also handle onboarding and offboarding, manage your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace environment, and keep your network and devices secure.
How is Foreman different from other MSPs in San Diego?
We only work with architects, contractors, and construction companies. That means we already know the tools you use (Procore, Sage, Autodesk, Bluebeam) and the compliance requirements you face (NIST, CMMC, SOC 2). You won't spend time explaining your industry to us.
What does MSP pricing look like?
We use predictable per-user or per-device pricing with clear scope. You know what you're paying each month, and there are no surprise invoices for routine support. We'll walk you through pricing during a free assessment.
Can you support remote and field workers?
Yes. We manage endpoints wherever your team works, including jobsite laptops, tablets running field apps like PlanGrid or Fieldwire, and remote desktops. Our monitoring covers devices on and off the office network.

Critical issues get a response within 15 minutes. Standard requests are typically addressed within an hour during business hours. We also provide after-hours emergency support for system-down situations.
