Our Approach
How NGT Supports A/E Firms
Architecture and engineering technology isn't typical office IT. Your firm runs resource-intensive applications that demand powerful hardware, massive storage, and high-bandwidth networks. A generic IT provider may keep your email running, but they won't know how to optimize your Revit workstation, troubleshoot BIM sync issues, or configure your network for efficient rendering workflows.
NGT Technology understands the technology stack that A/E firms depend on. We configure workstations for peak performance, design networks that handle large file transfers without choking, and proactively manage your infrastructure so your designers and engineers are never waiting on technology.

IT Problems We Solve for A/E Firms
Slow workstation performance when running AutoCAD, Revit, or rendering software due to improper hardware configuration, outdated drivers, or insufficient memory and GPU resources.
File collaboration bottlenecks where large project files take minutes to open, save, or sync across team members, killing productivity during deadline crunches.
BIM coordination failures where model conflicts, version mismatches, and sync issues cause rework and missed project milestones.
Inadequate backup systems that put months of project work at risk from hardware failure, ransomware, or accidental deletion without proper versioning.
Network infrastructure that can't handle the bandwidth demands of large file transfers, cloud rendering, and video conferencing simultaneously.
Protecting sensitive client project files, bid documents, and proprietary designs from cyber threats and unauthorized access.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About A/E Firm IT
Yes. We provide full support for the Autodesk ecosystem including AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, BIM 360, and Autodesk Construction Cloud. We also support Bluebeam, SketchUp, Rhino, and other design tools. Our team handles workstation optimization, software deployment, licensing management, and troubleshooting.
Absolutely. We configure workstations specifically for CAD and BIM workflows -- from GPU driver optimization and memory allocation to SSD caching and display settings. We benchmark performance, identify bottlenecks, and ensure your hardware investment delivers maximum productivity for your design team.
We implement tiered storage solutions with high-speed local NAS for active projects and cloud archival for completed work. We configure file sync tools, set up project folder structures with proper permissions, and ensure your network has the bandwidth to move large files without delays.
Costs depend on firm size, number of workstations, and services needed. Most architecture and engineering firms invest between $125-$300 per user per month for comprehensive managed IT -- significantly less than hiring a full-time IT person and far more effective than break-fix support.
