Developer & Builder Site IT: the Burnaby brief
For real estate firms in Burnaby, Developer & Builder Site IT is a practical response to a plain problem: presentation centres opening with unreliable or unplanned internet. Developer and Builder Site IT provides temporary and permanent technology for sales centres, site trailers and project offices: connectivity, Wi-Fi, secure access to project files, cameras and phones, with a plan for demobilising cleanly when the project ends. We work remotely from Vancouver and attend Burnaby sites when installation or incident response needs hands on the equipment.
What is included
- Site survey and connectivity plan with primary and backup links
- Wi-Fi and network design for sales centres and trailers
- Secure remote access to project files and accounting systems
- Camera and access-control integration for site security
- Staged deployment before launch day and a demobilisation plan
- Asset tracking and return processes at project close
Typical tools: Cisco Meraki, Starlink and 5G failover, Ubiquiti, Procore-class platforms and Microsoft 365.

What the engagement includes
A typical Developer & Builder Site IT engagement in Burnaby begins with site survey and connectivity plan with primary and backup links. From there we agree priorities with the owner or managing broker, working with the tools you already hold, such as Cisco Meraki, Starlink and 5G failover, Ubiquiti, Procore-class platforms and Microsoft 365. Every deliverable is written in plain language, and every change is documented so another competent professional could pick it up.
Local conditions in Burnaby
Firms in the Lower Mainland work against earthquake exposure along the Cascadia margin, atmospheric-river flooding in low-lying areas and the occasional wide-area carrier outage, and a sensible Developer & Builder Site IT design allows for them. Connectivity in the area is characterised by dense fibre, carrier-neutral data centres and a deep pool of local IT talent, but also heavy competition for it and constant office-lease churn, which is why we plan failover and tested recovery rather than relying on a single path. The Lower Mainland also shapes who your clients are: a dense mix of trade, logistics, film, technology, healthcare and professional services anchored by the Port of Vancouver and YVR.
Speak with an advisor
The simplest way to begin is a short call. Phone (604) 632-4959 or write to info@SAZ.ca, describe your Burnaby office, development or portfolio, and we will respond with a candid view of priorities and a rough budget. There is no obligation, no lock-in and no pressure.
