Microsoft 365, SharePoint and AI, set up for the way construction and manufacturing businesses work.
We help builders, contractors, manufacturers, wholesalers and property developers keep plans and SWMS under control, get approvals out of inboxes, and decide exactly what subcontractors can see. Less time chasing paperwork and forms. More time building and making.
What we help construction and manufacturing businesses with
Document and version control
One master copy of every plan, procedure, form and safety document, including SWMS. Everyone builds and works from the same version.
Mobile-friendly intranets
An intranet that reaches workers who don't sit at a desk, such as site, warehouse and factory teams. Everyone gets the same updates, safety documents and forms, wherever they work.
Digital forms and workflows
Swap printed forms, job folders and email approvals for Power Apps and Power Automate, so approvals move faster and jobs keep moving.
File migrations to Microsoft 365
Move messy file servers and OneDrive into a SharePoint structure that grows alongside your projects, sites and branches.
Microsoft 365 and SharePoint health checks
Find what's slowing your teams down, what's risky and where you're not getting value from the Microsoft 365 you already pay for.
Secure sharing and safe AI
Control what subcontractors, suppliers and inspectors can see with SharePoint permissions and Microsoft Purview, and get ready for Copilot.
What we hear most from construction and manufacturing
“Our staff keep using old plans and procedures.”
How Sope helpsWe set up controlled SharePoint libraries with owners, versioning and review dates, so everyone works from the current version and audit documents are already in one place.
“Half our people never sit at a desk.”
How Sope helpsWe give site, warehouse and factory workers a simple, mobile-friendly space in SharePoint and Microsoft 365 for safety documents, forms and updates, without a trip to the office.
“Old subcontractors and suppliers can still see our files.”
How Sope helpsWe set up SharePoint permissions, guest access and Microsoft Purview, so subcontractors, suppliers, tradies and inspectors see only what they need, and sensitive client and commercial information stays protected.
“Too much of the job still runs on paper and email.”
How Sope helpsWe replace printed forms, job folders and email approvals with simple digital workflows, so approvals move faster and nobody types the same details twice.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Microsoft 365 consultant do for a construction or manufacturing business?
A Microsoft 365 consultant sets up SharePoint, Teams and Power Automate around how your jobs and production run. For construction and manufacturing businesses, that usually means designing the SharePoint structure, permissions and approval workflows that keep plans and safety documents under control, setting up mobile access for frontline workers, and turning paper forms into digital workflows. See how our SharePoint consulting works.
How do construction companies stop crews working from old plans and documents?
Keep one controlled version of every plan, procedure and safety document in SharePoint, and share links instead of attachments so everyone opens the current version. Sope designs the structure, owners and approval workflows that make it stick. Learn more about SharePoint document management.
How can site and factory workers without a desk best use SharePoint intranets and Microsoft 365?
Through a mobile-friendly SharePoint intranet with the safety documents, SWMS, forms and updates they need on the job, on a phone or a shared tablet. Microsoft 365 frontline licences are designed for workers like these. See how we build intranets for frontline teams.
How do you control what subcontractors and external partners can see in SharePoint?
Give external subcontractors, suppliers and inspectors guest access only to the project sites and files they need, with access that expires when the job ends. Microsoft Purview adds sensitivity labels and data loss prevention on top. Talk to us about setting up secure external sharing.
Can you migrate large file servers and OneDrive into SharePoint?
Yes. Sope migrates file servers and OneDrive into SharePoint, including large project libraries, with a structure that scales across projects, sites and branches. Learn more about our Microsoft 365 migrations.
How much does a SharePoint intranet project or Microsoft 365 work cost?
It depends on your scope. We start with a conversation and, if it's useful, a short discovery. Larger work can be phased, and we can give you indicative estimates for budgeting. Have a chat with us about what you'd like to achieve.
