IT Support for Architects and Engineers, Built Around CAD Reality

Architecture and engineering firms have the heaviest desktops in small business: Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, SolidWorks, rendering queues, and project folders measured in terabytes. Generic IT support treats those machines like office PCs, and that is why your drafters wait on regenerating models while somebody suggests rebooting.

We build and support IT for design firms the way the work actually flows: fast workstations specified for the software you run, storage that moves big files without drama, and backups that treat a project archive like the legal record it is.

On the ground

What actually breaks in design firm IT

Workstations specified by someone who read the Revit hardware notes

CAD and BIM performance lives on single core speed, the right GPU, and enough RAM, not on whatever the office supply vendor had on sale. We specify, build, and maintain machines matched to your actual software, and we tell you honestly when a slow machine needs a part instead of replacement.

Project files too big for the setup carrying them

Linked Revit models and drawing sets choke consumer file sync tools. We design storage that fits how firms work: fast local storage where the models live, sensible sync for sharing, and a structure people can actually find things in.

License servers and the day they fail

Network licenses, standalone seats, and subscription portals fail quietly until the morning nobody can open the software. We manage the licensing mess, document it, and keep renewal surprises from becoming outages.

Archives that must outlive the project

Liability on a building does not end at handoff. Project archives get backed up, verified, and kept restorable for the years that professional responsibility actually runs.

What is included

What design firm IT includes with KYTHEL

CAD and BIM workstation care. Specification, builds, upgrades, and maintenance matched to your software.
Big file storage and sharing. Local speed plus cloud sharing that survives 500 MB drawing sets.
License management. Autodesk, Bentley, Adobe, and the rest, documented and renewed on time.
Project archive backups. Encrypted, tested, and retained for the long tail of liability.
Fast direct support. A drafter down is billable time burning. Most fixes happen remotely within the hour.
Office moves and buildouts. Cabling, network, and workstation moves without losing a working day.

Real work

Our field history includes structured cabling and workstation builds for professional offices across South Florida, documented in our case studies with real numbers rather than adjectives.

Questions

Common questions

Can you make Revit and AutoCAD run faster on our machines?

Often yes, and we will tell you honestly which machines have headroom and which are done. The fix ranges from RAM and GPU upgrades to storage changes to model hygiene. Blanket replacement is the last answer, not the first.

We are five people. Are we too small?

No, small design firms are exactly who we serve. You get hourly support or a monthly plan sized per device, and the same engineer every time who learns how your firm works.

Do you understand file sharing between consultants?

Yes: linked models, consultant exchanges, and versions that must not get overwritten. We set up sharing that keeps the working set fast and the exchanges clean.
