What AEC firms need from IT

Real horsepower. Real file velocity.

AEC firms move massive files between teams, vendors, and sites — and run software that punishes underspec'd hardware. Most IT shops aren't ready for this.

Workstation horsepower

Spec'd, deployed, and supported for Revit, AutoCAD, Bluebeam, SketchUp, Rhino, V-Ray. Refresh cycles aligned with software roadmaps — not arbitrary depreciation schedules.

Large file movement

CAD and BIM files in tens of gigabytes. Fast LAN, optimized cloud sync (BIM 360, Newforma), efficient remote-worker access via VPN or remote workstation.

Render & compute

On-prem render nodes, cloud-burst options, GPU-backed cloud workstations. Designed for the renders your team actually runs — not the marketing-speed benchmarks.

Multi-discipline collab

Architects, structural, MEP, civil. Internal and external collaboration that respects file locks, version control, and the shared-model rules you've already standardized on.

Site-ready mobility

Field teams with iPads that actually open the model. Drone footage uploads. Site-survey workflows that don't require sneaker-netting an SD card back to the office.

Project-data security

Project-level access control. External consultant onboarding/offboarding. Client-confidential models that don't leak to the wrong project team.

Platforms we know

The software your team designs in.

Configured and supported across architecture, structural engineering, MEP, and interior design firms.

How our services map

Six capabilities. Built around the studio.

For AEC firms, the IT story is usually about workstations, networks, and file velocity. Managed IT is the helpdesk that knows Revit's idiosyncrasies and the procurement engine that gets your hardware refresh right. Connectivity is the bandwidth and LAN design that keeps a 60-MB model open without lag.

For multi-office and multi-discipline practices, vCIO and Projects sit at the strategic layer: standardizing the studio across offices, planning the next hardware refresh, coordinating IT through office expansions and M&A.

Common starting point

How AEC clients tend to start.

  • Workstation refresh planning aligned to software roadmaps
  • BIM / CAD file storage and sync architecture review
  • Render pipeline assessment (on-prem vs cloud)
  • Mobile and field-team workflow optimization
  • External consultant onboarding playbook
  • Quarterly studio-leadership strategy review
