IT support for architects
Give your team room to design
Large drawings, models and renders put pressure on workstations, storage and connectivity. Slow file access or unreliable equipment can turn a small IT problem into a missed handover.
We help you identify where performance is falling short and plan improvements around your project workload. Our managed IT support gives your team help with day-to-day faults, while specialist design software queries remain coordinated with the relevant supplier.
A plan for the next project
New projects can mean larger models, more collaborators and different demands on your IT. We help you plan capacity, control access to shared files and keep office and remote teams connected.
Purcell’s Head of IT, Gary Dalton, describes CIS as a long term partner in setting the practice’s IT strategy. That is the kind of relationship we aim to build: practical support today, with informed decisions about what comes next.
