The IT risks that matter most to an architecture practice
Design work needs serious computing power, huge files and tight deadlines. Here’s how we handle the six IT concerns architecture and design firms raise most.
Powerful workstations for CAD and rendering
Revit models and 3D renders push computers hard. Underpowered or ageing workstations mean slow models, crashes and renders that run overnight.
How we help: We help you choose, set up and maintain workstations with the processor, graphics card and memory your design software needs, and keep drivers and updates under control.
Autodesk, Bluebeam and SketchUp
When an update, a plug-in or a license sign-in goes wrong the week of a deadline, the whole studio feels it.
How we help: We keep the computers, servers and networks your design software runs on healthy, and work with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.
Sharing huge project files
Models, drawing sets and renders are too big for email, and consultants and clients need the current version, not last week’s.
How we help: We set up secure file sharing, such as Microsoft 365 or a client portal, so your team, consultants and clients all work from the right files.
Backing up project archives
Years of project archives add up fast, and losing active projects to ransomware or a failed drive could set you back weeks.
How we help: We back up your files and systems to a separate, secure location and check that they can be restored, so you can get back to work quickly after a problem.
Remote access for designers
Designers working from home or a site visit need their full CAD setup, and big files crawl over a home internet connection.
How we help: We set up secure remote access so designers can work on their office workstation or project files from anywhere, without copying files to personal laptops.
Email security and wire fraud
Criminals imitate clients, contractors or your own principals to steal logins or redirect fee payments with fake bank details.
How we help: We secure email with multi-factor sign-in and filtering, help staff spot phishing, and help you set a simple rule: confirm any change to bank details by phone using a number you already know.
We support the computers, servers and networks that run AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam and SketchUp, and work with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.

Protecting your work
Why drawings and client data need protecting
Your files are more than paperwork. They’re your product, and they often contain details your clients expect you to keep private.
Your designs are your product
Drawings, models and specifications represent hundreds of hours of work. Ransomware or a careless share can lock them up or put them in the wrong hands.
Plans reveal sensitive details
Floor plans and building systems show how a home, school, office or secure facility can be entered. Clients expect them to stay private.
Clients ask about security
Some clients, especially larger companies and public agencies, ask consultants how they protect project data. A clear answer, and the safeguards behind it, helps you win and keep that work.
We help you put practical safeguards in place: multi-factor sign-in, controlled file sharing, access that ends when staff leave, and backups we check can be restored.

Do you support AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam and SketchUp?
Yes. Bayotech supports the computers, servers and networks that run AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam and SketchUp, and works with your software vendor on upgrades and problems.
What kind of computer do architects need for Revit and rendering?
A workstation with a fast multi-core processor, a strong graphics card, plenty of memory and fast solid-state storage. The right balance depends on your software and project sizes, so we help you choose before you buy.
How should architecture firms share large project files?
Use secure cloud file sharing or a client portal instead of email attachments or USB drives. Everyone works from the current version, and you control who can see what.
Can designers work on CAD from home?
Yes, with the right setup. Secure remote access lets designers use their office workstation from home, so big files stay on the office network and nothing is copied to personal laptops.
How can an architecture firm prevent wire fraud?
Confirm every new or changed bank detail by phone, using a number you already have, never one from the email. Add multi-factor sign-in and email filtering so criminals can’t easily break into or imitate your accounts.
How fast does Bayotech respond to IT problems?
A real person answers in 3 rings or less. Our average time to first response on support tickets is 4.5 minutes.
