Coreitech delivers specialist architecture IT support for practices across London and the UK — AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, and BIM workstation support, large-file infrastructure, and cyber security for your design IP.
IT services built for
architecture practices
High-Performance Workstations
Setup, maintenance, and support for CAD/BIM workstations — AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, Rhino, and SketchUp.
Cloud File Storage & Collaboration
SharePoint and OneDrive for large project file sharing — with version control and access management across teams.
Large File Backup & Recovery
Automated backup for large CAD, BIM, and render files — with fast recovery to minimise project disruption.
High-Speed Network Infrastructure
Gigabit internal networks and leased line internet for architects handling large file transfers and cloud rendering.
Cyber Security & IP Protection
Endpoint protection, access controls, and DLP to protect design IP, client drawings, and planning documentation.
Remote & Hybrid Working
Secure remote access to project files and internal systems — whether working from home, site, or client offices.
IT challenges unique to
architecture practices
Large file performance
Revit and ArchiCAD models can be hundreds of GB. We configure storage, networks, and workstations to handle large files without slowdowns.
Software compatibility
AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, and Adobe Creative Suite have complex compatibility requirements. We manage licensing, updates, and conflict resolution.
Project file security
Architectural IP is valuable. We implement access controls, encryption, and DLP policies to prevent unauthorised access or accidental disclosure.
Client collaboration
Architects share large files with contractors, clients, and consultants. We set up secure SharePoint portals and cloud file sharing workflows.
Remote site access
Architects work across studios, client offices, and sites. We deliver secure, fast remote access to all systems from any location.
Planning & compliance
Planning submissions often require documented IT processes. We provide policies and documentation for ISO, RIBA, and client audit requirements.
Is your architecture practice experiencing
any of these IT problems?
Large design files and rendering failing
CAD, BIM, and rendering software depend on high-speed networks and storage. Slow or failing systems kill productivity.
Project collaboration tools breaking down
Cloud-based project management and file sharing are mission-critical. When they fail, teamwork stops.
Client design file security and IP protection
Architectural designs are valuable intellectual property. Inadequate security exposes client work to theft or breach.
Backup and disaster recovery gaps
Design files are irreplaceable. Loss without backup is catastrophic for projects and client relationships.
Remote working infrastructure failures
Architects increasingly work remotely. VPN, secure access, and cloud infrastructure must be reliable.
Slow IT response during deadline periods
Projects have hard deadlines. Slow IT response during design submission phases costs projects.

Architects IT support
questions answered
Q.What IT support do architects need?
Architecture practices have specific IT needs: high-performance CAD and BIM workstations, large-file network infrastructure, cloud collaboration for project files, software licence management (AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD), secure file sharing with clients and contractors, robust backup for large project files, and cyber security for valuable design IP. A managed IT provider experienced in the creative and professional services sector can cover all of these.
Q.Can you support AutoCAD, Revit, and ArchiCAD?
Yes. Coreitech supports all major architectural and design applications including AutoCAD, Revit, ArchiCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape, Lumion, Adobe Creative Suite, and related BIM tools. We handle installation, licensing, updates, hardware compatibility, and day-to-day troubleshooting.
Q.How do you handle large file storage for architecture practices?
Large project files require purpose-built storage infrastructure. We design and manage solutions including NAS storage for local high-speed access, SharePoint/OneDrive for cloud collaboration, and large-file sync tools for distributed teams. We also configure backup solutions with appropriate retention policies for large CAD and BIM libraries.
Q.How much does IT support for an architecture practice cost?
Managed IT support for architecture practices from Coreitech costs £25/user/month (Standard plan) or £50/user/month (Advanced plan — includes Microsoft 365 management, on-site engineers, dedicated account manager, and cyber security). Both plans include unlimited helpdesk, workstation management, software support, and network management.
Q.Do you support architecture practices outside London?
Yes. While we're headquartered in London Bridge SE1, we provide IT support for architecture practices across the UK including Birmingham, Manchester, and Glasgow from our regional offices. Remote support is available for all practices regardless of location.
