IT Support for Architecture & Engineering Firms
IT built for large files and demanding software — fast storage, reliable collaboration, and secure project data.
Architecture and engineering firms work with some of the largest, most demanding files in any industry. CAD drawings, BIM models, and rendered visuals can run into gigabytes each, and standard business IT setups simply weren't built to handle them. When storage is slow or sync fails, deadlines slip and clients notice.
We provide managed IT support for architecture, engineering, and design practices with 1 to 50 staff. That means high-performance workstations configured for CAD and BIM software, fast local and cloud storage sized for large project files, and network infrastructure that doesn't choke when someone opens a 2GB model.
Project collaboration is central to how these firms work, often with multiple consultants, contractors, and clients needing access to the same files. We set up Microsoft 365 with SharePoint and OneDrive for structured file sharing and version control, alongside project-specific access permissions so subcontractors see only what they need to, not your entire project archive.
Client and project data can be commercially sensitive, from unpublished designs to tender submissions. We configure Conditional Access, MFA on every account, and data loss prevention policies so confidential drawings and proposals aren't shared outside your organisation by accident. Devices are encrypted and managed through Intune, so a lost laptop doesn't mean a lost project.
Site visits are part of the job, and your team needs secure access to project files and communication tools from wherever they are, not just reliable Wi-Fi at head office. We set up remote access that works from a site cabin or a client's office just as well as it does from your studio, with the same security controls applied everywhere.
Our AI automation services help firms cut down on admin: automated project status reporting, drawing revision tracking and notifications, RFI logging, and client update sequences. These connect to your existing project management tools. Based in London, we support firms across the city and the wider UK remotely, with under 30-minute response times and no long-term contracts.
