IT Support for Wellington Architects and Engineers
Design and engineering firms work with large files, demanding software and expensive licences. When models take minutes to open, licences won’t check out, or site staff can’t reach the latest drawings, billable time disappears. Precedent keeps your workstations, storage and licences working so your team can focus on the project.
We support architecture, engineering and surveying practices across the Wellington region.
Systems we work alongside
Autodesk AutoCAD, Revit and Civil 3D; Archicad, Vectorworks, SketchUp and Rhino; Enscape and Lumion for visualisation; 12d Model; ETABS, SAP2000 and SPACE GASS; Bluebeam Revu; plotters and large-format printers; Microsoft 365.
Protecting project data
Your project archive is your firm’s history and often a contractual obligation. We make sure it is backed up, recoverable and protected from ransomware.
What’s included
- Workstations: Specification, purchasing advice and lifecycle planning for CPU- and GPU-heavy design workstations
- Licence management: Named and network licences, licence servers and renewals, so software is ready when people need it
- Project file storage: File servers or hybrid cloud storage sized for large models, with sensible folder structures and permissions
- Remote and site access: Secure access to drawings and models for staff working from home or on site
- Backup and archive: Tested backups and long-term archiving of completed projects
This sits on top of our core managed IT service, tailored to your practice.
Business-hours support, Monday to Friday 08:30–17:00, with after-hours cover arranged for managed service clients when you need it.
First step: a workstation and file-speed review
We measure where your team waits on hardware, storage or network, and give you a sized, prioritised upgrade plan.
Common questions
Should our project files be in the cloud or on a server?
It depends on file sizes, your internet connection and how your team works. Many firms do best with a hybrid setup. We’ll recommend what suits you rather than a standard answer.
