An intranet for construction companies, right down to the site.
Email, Teams, WhatsApp and word-of-mouth handovers: in construction, information quickly becomes fragmented, and it is the people on site who miss what matters most. Involv intranet brings communication, documents and safety information together in one digital workplace, with a mobile app for everyone who has no PC. Built on your own Microsoft 365, live in 4 weeks.
Developed in close collaboration with leading construction companies in Belgium
Why does a construction company need its own intranet?
An intranet for construction companies centralises news, documents, schedules and safety information, so that the office, the workshop and the site always work from the same up-to-date information. Through a mobile app it also reaches employees without a PC, reducing miscommunication, rework costs and safety risks.
According to McKinsey (2024), employees spend on average 1.8 hours a day searching for information that often already exists. On a construction site, outdated or hard-to-find information means more than lost time: it affects planning, quality and safety.
The message never reaches the site
Your site workers have no PC and rarely open a mailbox. Important updates get stuck at the office, while the people on site are the ones who need them most.
WhatsApp groups as the only channel
Separate groups per crew work, until they don't: messages disappear, no one knows what is official, and nothing can be found or checked afterwards.
Plans and procedures are impossible to find
Site plans, safety procedures and HR documents are scattered across folders and mailboxes. Anyone who needs something quickly on site loses time or works from an old version.
Safety communication is inconsistent
An emergency alert or a new safety guideline must reach every crew, immediately and verifiably. Notice boards and word of mouth cannot do that, and your company carries that risk.
Reach every employee, even without a PC
From the project manager on the move to the worker on site: with the Involv mobile app, everyone receives news, documents and alerts on their smartphone. Targeted communication per site, crew or language ensures that every employee sees exactly what is relevant to them.
- Mobile app for iOS and Android, in your own branding
- Push notifications for urgent and mandatory communication
- Content targeting per site, region, crew, role or language
- Multilingual communication for crews who speak other languages
- Read receipts: you can see who has seen the message
Safety communication that provably gets through
You send safety updates, emergency alerts and new guidelines in a targeted way per site, region or role. They appear on the smartphone, on desktop and on digital screens in workshops and canteens. With must-read messages and read receipts, you can demonstrate that critical information has reached everyone.
- Urgent warnings per site, region or role
- Must-read messages with read confirmation
- Involv Cast: safety information and news on screens in the workshop and canteen
- Central, always up-to-date safety procedures and instructions
- One official channel instead of separate groups and notice boards

- Smart search with filters and synonyms
- Version control: everyone works with the latest, approved version
- Role-based access to sensitive documents

No promises, just results. Here is what construction and infrastructure organisations achieved after switching to Involv.
Lichfields: one modern intranet for 200 planning and design experts

Lantis: major infrastructure projects, one clear communication channel

In one clearly scoped project.
Gartner (2024) found that 40% of intranet projects fail to achieve the expected ROI within two years. A clearly scoped approach makes the difference. The Involv QuickStart package has a fixed scope, a fixed price and a proven approach, so your business makes rapid progress while your sites keep running.
Answers to the questions construction companies ask us
What is a construction intranet and why does a construction company need one?
A construction intranet centralises news, documents, schedules and safety information, so that everyone, in the office, on the move or on site, always works from the same up-to-date information. That reduces miscommunication, rework costs and safety risks, particularly in companies with teams spread across multiple sites.
How do we reach site workers with no PC or fixed workplace?
Through the Involv mobile app for iOS and Android, in your own branding. Site workers receive news, documents and push notifications on their smartphone, targeted per site, crew, role or language. That way you also reach those who rarely open a mailbox.
Can we send targeted safety updates and urgent warnings?
Yes. You segment safety and emergency alerts per site, region or role and send them via the mobile app, desktop and digital screens. With must-read messages and read receipts, you can demonstrate that the message has reached everyone.
We already have SharePoint. What changes?
Involv is built on SharePoint. You replace nothing: you add a user-friendly intranet layer on top of your existing Microsoft 365 environment. Existing sites, document libraries and Teams integrations are fully preserved and simply carry over.
How quickly can we go live?
With Involv QuickStart, your construction company usually has a working intranet within 4 weeks: fixed scope, fixed price and a proven approach. We guide you from kickoff to go-live, including training for your administrators.
How much does an intranet for a construction company cost?
The price depends on the number of users, the modules you choose and the level of support. Above all, look at the total cost: a ready-made intranet on your existing Microsoft 365 is usually more cost-effective than a custom build, because implementation and management are far lighter.
