IT That Keeps Your Studio Drawing, Not Waiting
Planning submissions. Client presentations. Terabytes of drawings and models. Your practice runs on precision tools and immovable deadlines — and when the systems behind them stall, projects stall with them.

Built for design practices — not "any old business"
Architecture is unlike most businesses: enormous files, specialised software, and clients who judge every output. An IT partner who doesn't understand that landscape wastes your billable time. We don't.
Deadlines Protected
A frozen workstation the night before a submission isn't an inconvenience — it's a lost opportunity. Our managed clients receive prioritised response times with clear SLAs, because planning dates wait for nobody.
Design-Tool Fluent
We speak CAD. Workstation specification, GPU drivers, plotter configurations, version control and project archives — support that understands the difference between a laptop and a machine your visualisations depend on.
A Partner, Not a Helpline
We work with directors and practice managers to plan IT around project pipelines — from mobile-working setups for site visits to robust archiving — not just fix tickets when things break.
How We Support Architects
Managed IT & Support Services for Design Practices
From sole practitioners to growing studios across East Suffolk, we deliver dependable, premium-grade IT — fully managed, or strengthening your existing arrangements.
Managed IT Retainers
Predictable monthly support for every user, workstation and server in the practice — with proactive maintenance that prevents downtime mid-project.
CAD Workstations & Servers
Specification, configuration and support for design-critical hardware — tuned machines, RAID-protected project storage and reliable plotting.
Microsoft 365 & Collaboration
Secure email, SharePoint document libraries and Teams — organised around projects and phases, so the right drawings reach the right people.
Cyber Security & IP Protection
Unbuilt designs and client drawings are commercially sensitive intellectual property. Endpoint protection, security-key MFA and access controls keep them that way.
Rapid Response Support
Direct access to experienced engineers — no offshore queues, no ticket black holes. Fast fixes when a deadline-critical system misbehaves.
Backup & Project Archival
Automated backup and long-term project archiving — so drawings, surveys and correspondence from years ago are retrievable when disputes or revisions arise.
Credentials & Reliability
Support That Fits How Practices Actually Work
Design practices judge an IT partner on uptime, file integrity and how fast the phone is answered — not certificates on a wall. Though we have those too.
Trusted Locally
What Clients Say
"What I value most is that Lewis explains things without jargon and never oversells. Our workstations are quicker, our project files are properly backed up, and I finally stop worrying about IT the week of a tender submission."— Director, Suffolk family business
