IT SUPPORT
FOR
SURVEYORS
LONDON & UK
Coreitech provides specialist IT support for surveying practices and RICS-regulated firms across London and the UK. AutoCAD, ArcGIS, Trimble — all supported. Cyber Essentials, field device management, and Microsoft 365 — built for surveyors.
IT support that understands
how surveyors work
Surveying practices rely on highly specialist software — AutoCAD, ArcGIS, MicroStation, Trimble — that has specific server-side dependencies, licensing requirements, and performance demands that generic IT companies simply don't understand. When CAD workstations underperform or GIS infrastructure fails, billable work stops immediately.
Coreitech provides IT support built around how surveyors actually work — from high-performance CAD workstations and GPU configuration, to secure field device management for surveyors working across sites, to RICS-aligned cyber security and Cyber Essentials certification.
Managed IT for Surveyors
All-inclusive managed IT for surveying practices, RICS-regulated firms, and property consultancies — unlimited helpdesk, on-site engineers, proactive monitoring. One fixed monthly price per user.
Surveying Software Support
Expert support for AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS, ESRI, Mapinfo, Leica Cyclone, Trimble Business Center, and specialist surveying software. We understand the server dependencies and licensing requirements of CAD and GIS environments.
Cyber Security for Surveyors
Enterprise cyber security protecting commercially sensitive client data, property valuations, and survey reports. Email phishing defence, endpoint detection, dark web monitoring — aligned to RICS cyber security guidance.
Cloud & Microsoft 365 for Surveyors
Microsoft 365 Business Premium for surveying practices — SharePoint for document management, Teams for client collaboration, OneDrive for field data sync, and Intune MDM for field engineer devices.
Cyber Essentials for Surveyors
Cyber Essentials and CE+ certification for surveying firms. Increasingly required by RICS-regulated practices, public sector clients, and as part of professional indemnity insurance compliance.
Field & Mobile Device Management
MDM for surveyors working across sites — secure mobile data capture, GPS device management, laptop and tablet management for field teams, and remote wipe for lost or stolen devices on-site.
IT risks specific to
surveying practices
Commercially sensitive valuation data
Property valuations, pre-acquisition reports, and development appraisals represent highly commercially sensitive data. Unauthorised access or breach can result in significant financial and reputational damage.
RICS regulatory obligations
RICS members are subject to regulatory expectations around data protection and cyber security. The RICS Cybersecurity and Cyber Resilience guide increasingly underpins regulatory reviews and PI insurance requirements.
Field team device loss
Surveyors working across sites carry laptops and tablets containing client data, survey results, and sensitive property information. Lost or stolen devices without remote wipe and encryption create significant breach exposure.
CAD and GIS data dependency
Surveying practices depend on highly specialist software with specific server-side dependencies. When AutoCAD or GIS infrastructure fails, billable work stops immediately — downtime has direct revenue impact.

IT support for surveyors:
common questions
Q.What IT support do surveying practices need?
Surveying practices need IT support that understands their specialist software stack (AutoCAD, MicroStation, ArcGIS, Trimble), RICS regulatory context, field team device management, and the commercial sensitivity of their data. Most IT companies treat a surveying firm like any other SME — Coreitech specialises in professional practices and understands your software dependencies and compliance context.
Q.Can you support AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and specialist surveying software?
Yes. We support all major surveying and CAD software including AutoCAD, MicroStation/Bentley, ArcGIS/ESRI, MapInfo, Leica Cyclone, Trimble Business Center, Bluebeam Revu, BIM 360/Autodesk Construction Cloud, and PlanSwift. This includes the server-side licensing dependencies, performance optimisation for CAD workstations, GPU configuration, and annual upgrade management.
Q.How do surveying firms handle RICS cyber security requirements?
RICS has issued specific guidance on cyber security and cyber resilience for regulated practices. Key requirements include: documented security policies, MFA on all systems, patching management, encrypted devices for field teams, and incident response procedures. Cyber Essentials certification provides a framework that aligns well with RICS expectations. Coreitech helps surveying firms achieve and maintain CE certification and implement the controls RICS guidance requires.
Q.How much does IT support cost for a surveying practice?
Managed IT support for surveying practices costs £25/user/month (Standard — unlimited helpdesk, monitoring, on-site, patch management) or £50/user/month (Advanced — adds Microsoft 365 management, cyber security, dedicated account manager). Surveying software support (AutoCAD, GIS, etc.) is included in all plans at no additional charge.
Q.Can you manage devices for field surveyors?
Yes. Field surveyor device management is a particular speciality. We deploy Microsoft Intune MDM for Windows laptops and tablets used in the field — enforcing encryption (BitLocker), remote wipe capability for lost devices, automated patch management, and secure VPN connectivity back to office systems. For GPS and total station data capture devices, we advise on secure data transfer workflows.
Q.Can you support multi-site and chartered surveying firms?
Yes. We support surveying firms from sole practitioners to multi-partner RICS-regulated practices with multiple offices. Our managed IT scales with you — whether you have 5 users in one office or 50 across multiple sites, one fixed monthly price covers all locations with no per-site surcharges.
