Gainesville’s construction boom is moving fast—and if your tech isn’t keeping up, it’s dragging you down.
If your team is still chasing blueprints through Dropbox folders or digging through inboxes for permit PDFs, you’re already behind schedule.
Let’s say your Gainesville jobsite is halfway through framing. The foreman calls the office for the updated MEP layout… only to find it’s still sitting in someone’s inbox—or worse, on a flash drive in another truck.
Sound familiar?
These gaps might seem small, but across a full build they lead to:
Hours lost every week tracking down files
Mismatched versions of blueprints
Miscommunication between subcontractors
Delayed permits or inspection readiness
Costly rework and change orders
The reality? Most delays aren’t just labor or weather—they’re workflow issues that can be solved with the right cloud system.
Take it from MDS Builders, a Florida- and Texas-based construction firm. Their IT setup looked fine on the surface—a part-time consultant, basic infrastructure—but it all fell apart when it really counted.
Their systems were outdated and wide open to threats.
A malware attack hit, exposing sensitive client data.
Even worse, they couldn’t even qualify for cyber insurance.
“There were a lot of band-aids in place… We couldn’t even qualify [for cyber insurance],” said David, CFO at MDS Builders. “Now we’re up to date, we have backups, and we’ve got everything we need.”
That’s where GiaSpace came in.
We rebuilt their entire IT foundation—from secure cloud access and endpoint protection to backup systems and insurance documentation. Today, MDS is protected, compliant, and no longer putting their jobs (or reputation) at risk.
