IT SUPPORT
FOR
ARCHITECTS UK
Coreitech provides specialist IT support for architectural practices across London and the UK. Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, BIM 360, GPU workstations — IT built for high-performance design environments.
CAD & BIM Software Support
Expert support for Revit, AutoCAD Architecture, ArchiCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Vectorworks, Navisworks, and BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud. We understand render farm dependencies, GPU workstation config, and large file workflows.
Managed IT for Architects
All-inclusive managed IT for architectural practices — unlimited helpdesk, proactive monitoring, on-site engineers. Built around the high-performance computing demands of CAD and BIM environments.
Cyber Security for Architects
Enterprise cyber security protecting commercially sensitive project designs, client briefs, and NDA-covered schemes. Email security, MFA, endpoint detection, and dark web monitoring for architectural practices.
Cloud Storage for Large Files
Cloud infrastructure for architectural large file management — Autodesk BIM 360, SharePoint, and hybrid NAS/cloud storage for Revit models, renders, and point cloud data. Bandwidth and storage optimised for design workflows.
ARB & RIBA IT Compliance
IT governance supporting ARB professional obligations and RIBA practice standards. GDPR compliance for client project data, PI-insurance-relevant security controls, and Cyber Essentials for tender submissions.
Workstation & GPU Management
High-performance workstation specification, procurement, and management for rendering and BIM. NVIDIA GPU configuration, RAM optimisation, and NVMe storage setup for Revit and 3ds Max performance.
IT support for architects:
common questions
Q.What IT support do architectural practices need?
Architectural practices need IT that understands their CAD and BIM software stack (Revit, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, ArchiCAD), high-performance workstation requirements, large file management (Revit models, renders, point clouds), Autodesk licensing, and the PI-insurance-relevant security controls that protect commercially sensitive client designs.
Q.Can you support Revit, ArchiCAD, and BIM software?
Yes. We support all major architectural CAD and BIM platforms including Revit, AutoCAD Architecture, ArchiCAD, SketchUp Pro, Rhino, Vectorworks, Navisworks, BIM 360, Lumion, and V-Ray. This includes Autodesk licensing management, server-side dependencies, workstation GPU configuration for rendering, and annual software upgrade management.
Q.How do you handle large Revit and BIM file storage for architectural practices?
Revit and BIM model files are extremely large — typical project files run to gigabytes, with renders and point cloud data adding more. We design storage architectures that balance local NAS performance (for active projects) with cloud backup and archive (BIM 360, SharePoint, or Azure). We also optimise network infrastructure to ensure BIM collaboration across multiple users doesn't create performance bottlenecks.
Q.How much does IT support cost for an architectural practice?
Managed IT support for architectural practices costs £25/user/month (Standard — unlimited helpdesk, monitoring, on-site, CAD software support) or £50/user/month (Advanced — adds Microsoft 365 management, cyber security, dedicated account manager). Revit and BIM software support is included in all plans at no additional charge.
Q.Do you help architectural practices with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. Cyber Essentials is increasingly required for public sector architectural appointments, government frameworks (Crown Commercial Service), and by some major developer clients as a supply chain security requirement. We provide end-to-end Cyber Essentials and CE+ certification for architectural practices — most achieve certification within 2–4 weeks.
Q.Can you spec and manage high-performance workstations for rendering?
Yes. Rendering and BIM require significantly more powerful workstations than typical office PCs — dedicated NVIDIA Quadro/RTX GPUs, 64–128GB RAM, NVMe SSD storage, and multi-core CPUs. We spec, procure, configure, and manage high-performance workstations for architectural practices, ensuring they're optimised for Revit, V-Ray, Lumion, and Enscape performance.
