Architecture & Engineering IT

IT for Design & Engineering Firms

Architecture and engineering firms run some of the most demanding workloads in any office environment — large Revit models, point cloud datasets, structural analysis simulations, and real-time 3D visualization all require infrastructure purpose-built for performance. Tomotechi supports A&E firms in Houston with workstation configuration, high-speed storage, rendering infrastructure, and the network backbone that keeps distributed project teams synchronized.

A&E IT Services

• CAD/BIM workstations: Specification, configuration, and support for Autodesk (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks), Bentley, ArchiCAD, Vectorworks, Rhino, and SketchUp workflows with appropriate professional GPUs and memory
• Rendering infrastructure: Local render farms, GPU rendering (V-Ray, Enscape, Lumion, Twinmotion), and cloud rendering integration
• Large file storage: High-speed NAS with RAID redundancy for active projects, archival storage for completed work, and 10GbE network infrastructure for fast file access
• Project collaboration: Autodesk BIM 360, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, Bluebeam Revu & Studio, and Newforma deployment
• Point cloud & reality capture: Workstation and software support for Autodesk ReCap, Leica Cyclone, and Faro Scene
• Project accounting: Deltek Vision, Deltek Vantagepoint, Unanet, and BQE Core support
• Mac support: Mixed Mac/Windows environments with cross-platform file sharing and Boot Camp/Parallels for Windows-only applications
• IP protection: Access controls, encryption, and secure file sharing for design documents and proprietary project data

Network Infrastructure

Large files and demanding applications require robust network infrastructure. We design and install high-speed switching (10 Gigabit Ethernet where needed), redundant internet connections, VPN for remote project access, and QoS configurations that prioritize CAD/BIM traffic over non-essential data.
