Flexible access for construction teams
Provide users—on-side or off—with secure access to ERP, BIM viewers, drawings, schedules, and project systems on any device.
VDI solutions
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solutions for construction teams
Parallels RAS gives construction teams, field engineers, and subcontractors secure access to core systems like ERP, BIM, project management, and more—no matter where they’re located.
Keep modern construction operations
on track with Parallels RAS
Parallels RAS helps IT and operations leaders in the construction industry balance mobility, security,
and cost efficiency while keeping fast-moving, project-based work on schedule.
Multi-layered security
Protect sensitive project data with centralized controls, multi-factor authentication (MFA), encryption, and isolated sessions for employees, subcontractors, and partners.
Keep construction teams mobile
Provide consistent performance for field teams using rugged tablets, laptops, or browser-based sessions—even in unreliable connectivity conditions.

What Parallels RAS does for construction businesses
Explore how Parallels RAS helps construction companies deliver apps securely, ensure project continuity, and modernize IT setups.
Construction IT operations and control made simple
Reduce complexity across jobsites, trailers, and offices with centralized application delivery and management.
Deploy rapidly across projects and jobsites
Roll out applications across new projects, temporary offices, and remote job sites quickly. Reduce setup time, maintain consistent configuration, and set standards for access as crews and subcontractors rotate.
Centralize delivery for critical construction systems
Deliver ERP, BIM viewers, estimating tools, scheduling platforms, and document control systems from a centralized platform. Establish consistent access based on roles without local installs, simplifying updates and reducing support effort.
Provide access for legacy systems
Modernize construction IT without rewriting legacy Windows applications. Bring existing ERP, estimating, and procurement systems into hybrid environments and preserve their stability for active projects.
Share access with subcontractors and BYOD
Set up centralized controls, MFA, and session isolation to onboard and offboard subcontractors and temporary workers quickly. Keep sensitive project data isolated and away from unmanaged devices.
Provide reliable, efficient construction IT
Keep active projects running with resilient access, improved performance, and predictable costs.
Ensure availability for project-critical workloads
Support continuous project execution with load balancing and resilient access architectures that reduce the risk of downtime. Maintain reliable access to drawings, schedules, and project systems for field and office teams.
Optimize performance for jobsite environments
Deliver a consistent user experience in locations with limited or unstable connectivity. Ensure field teams remain productive despite bandwidth constraints common on active construction sites.
Centralize management and control updates
Simplify patching, updates, and compliance by managing systems centrally. Ensure all projects, sites, and teams operate on consistent application versions and policies.
Balance TCO with predictable costs
Control IT spend by reducing infrastructure sprawl, extending endpoint lifecycles, and simplifying licensing. Improve budget predictability while supporting fluctuating project demands.
Is Parallels RAS right for your construction organization?
- If you support distributed operations across jobsites, field offices, trailers, and headquarters
- If field crews, superintendents, and subcontractors need secure access from shared kiosks, rugged devices, or BYOD
- If you rely on legacy Windows-based ERP, BIM, estimating, scheduling, or procurement applications
- If active projects require rapid onboarding of new crews, subcontractors, and temporary site offices
- If Citrix complexity, VPN sprawl, or high VDI administrative overhead are slowing project delivery and increasing IT costs
Yes, Parallels RAS is right for you.

Frequently asked questions
Parallels RAS prioritizes simplicity, faster deployment, and lower operational overhead, which works well for construction environments spanning jobsites, trailers, field offices, and headquarters. It supports on-premises, hybrid, and cloud architectures without forcing major redesigns, reduces administrative complexity, and offers predictable licensing aligned to users and applications rather than complex infrastructure stacks.
Parallels RAS is designed to deliver consistent application access, even in the constrained or inconsistent network conditions common on construction jobsites. Applications run centrally while sessions adapt to bandwidth and latency changes, so field engineers, superintendents, and subcontractors can work productively without heavy local installs or constant VPN reliance.
Yes. Parallels RAS supports the resilient, high-availability architectures needed for simultaneous, fast-moving construction projects. Centralized management simplifies monitoring, updates, and access control across multiple jobsites, allowing IT teams to support ongoing projects with minimal disruption.
Parallels RAS enables centralized, least-privilege access for subcontractors, temporary workers, and rotating crews using unmanaged or personal devices. IT staff can allow or revoke access quickly, restrict access to required applications, integrate systems with identity providers and MFA, and deliver desktops with session isolation to keep project data centralized and protected.
Yes. Parallels RAS can publish and deliver legacy Windows-based ERP, BIM viewers, estimating, scheduling, and procurement applications without refactoring. This allows construction firms to modernize access and bring systems into hybrid or cloud environments while maintaining stability, standardizing versions, and extending the life of critical platforms.
