Houston engineering and architecture firms work on plants, pipelines, production platforms, hospitals and commercial buildings, with drawing files that only get bigger. ITServices.Tech provides IT services for Houston architecture and engineering firms, with one team for support, security and backups.
Design firms in Houston’s energy economy
Houston is home to some of the largest engineering, procurement and construction companies in the energy industry, and a deep bench of smaller firms that work alongside them: process and piping designers, civil and structural engineers, surveyors and architects working on everything from pipeline projects to medical buildings. Many smaller firms work as subconsultants to larger ones, which means sharing large models and drawing sets with clients that have strict security rules of their own.
Big files, fast workstations and remote work
Revit models, Civil 3D surfaces, laser scan point clouds and 3D plant models in tools like AVEVA or Hexagon need workstations with enough graphics power and memory, and a file setup that does not crawl over a VPN. We size workstations for the work, set up file sync or cloud storage built for large CAD files, and give engineers a remote option that works from home or a client site.
Client security requirements
Energy operators and large engineering firms increasingly ask subconsultants to complete security questionnaires, use MFA, encrypt laptops and follow rules for handling their drawings. We help you meet those requirements and keep records that show it, so a security review does not hold up a contract.
Licenses, plotters and project archives
Design and engineering software is usually licensed per user or through a license server, and a lapsed or misconfigured license can stop a whole team. We track renewals, keep license servers running, support plotters and large format printers, and move finished projects to archive storage that is backed up but out of everyone’s way.
IT services for Houston architecture and engineering firms
- CAD workstation support
- Fast, reliable file storage and sharing
- Backups for project archives
- Secure collaboration with clients
Everything runs under one managed IT agreement, with the help desk, monitoring, patching, Microsoft 365, security and backups handled by the same team.
Software we support
We support the systems you already run, such as Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Bluebeam, SketchUp and Rhino, along with project accounting such as Deltek Vantagepoint or BQE CORE and file platforms like Egnyte, without making you replace them.
Security and compliance
Project files are valuable and often under contract terms. Backups, access controls and secure sharing protect them.
Under Texas law, a business must notify affected people of a breach of their sensitive personal information within 60 days, and the Texas Attorney General within 30 days when 250 or more Texans are affected.
