IT Solutions for Architecture Offices

High-performance technology for demanding planning and visualization

High-Performance WorkstationsServers and Storage SolutionsFast NetworksMobile Solutions

Architecture offices work with complex 3D models, high-resolution renderings, and huge CAD files. IT infrastructure must provide high-performance workstations, fast networks for large file transfers, and reliable storage solutions for project archives. At the same time, architects must be able to work mobile, BIM-based collaboration must function, and visualizations must be created in the highest quality. We at Leftclick understand the requirements of architecture offices and offer IT solutions that combine performance, reliability, and creative freedom.

Solutions

Our IT Solutions for Architecture Offices

Concrete building blocks that make the biggest difference in this industry.

High-Performance Workstations

Customized workstations with powerful CPUs, professional graphics cards, plenty of RAM, and fast SSDs for smooth work with demanding software.

Servers and Storage Solutions

Central servers and NAS systems with fast SSDs and large capacities for your project archives. Automatic backups of your valuable work.

Fast Networks

High-performance networks enable rapid transfer of large files between workstations and servers. No waiting times when opening or saving projects.

Mobile Solutions

High-performance notebooks for on-the-go, secure VPN access, and cloud access to your data from anywhere – for construction site visits and home office.

IT Security and Backup

Endpoint protection, firewall management, and automated encrypted backups protect your valuable project data around the clock.

Digital Workspace

Microsoft 365 for architecture offices with email, calendar, and Teams. Secure collaboration and document exchange – also with external planners.

IT Support and Helpdesk

Reliable IT support for architecture offices. Fast response times and proactive support so you can focus on your projects.

Hardware Procurement

Consulting and procurement of suitable hardware – from workstations to monitors to printers. Setup and support included.

In Practice

Practical Examples from Architecture

Typical scenarios — how we implement solutions in real projects.

1

Architecture Office with Rendering Farm

A medium-sized architecture office needed faster renderings. We installed a rendering farm with 4 servers that calculates visualizations overnight. Rendering times dropped from days to hours.

2

Small Office with Cloud-First Strategy

A 3-person office wanted to work without own servers. We migrated all data to a cloud solution, set up cloud workstations (Shadow, Windows 365), and enabled work from anywhere.

3

Large Office with BIM Collaboration

An architecture office with 20 employees wanted to work BIM-based. We installed Autodesk BIM 360, trained all architects, and migrated existing projects. Multiple teams can now work simultaneously on large projects.

4

Visualization Specialist with GPU Rendering

A visualization office needed maximum rendering power. We built workstations with NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics cards and optimized rendering software. Real-time rendering became possible.

Compliance

Data Security & Project Protection

Architecture projects are valuable intellectual property and must be protected – from theft, loss, and unauthorized access.

1

Secure storage of confidential architecture projects

2

Access controls for different project teams

3

Encrypted data transmission when using cloud

4

Automatic versioned backups of all projects

5

Protection against ransomware and data loss

6

Data sovereignty in Swiss data centers

7

Secure collaboration with external planners

8

Long-term archiving of completed projects
