The IT reality at most design and construction firms

Does this sound like your firm?

Most of these come down to the same thing: IT that was set up for a generic office, not for firms that work with large models, changing project teams and job sites.

  • Revit models take minutes to open, and syncing slows everyone down by the afternoon
  • Project files are spread across a file server, SharePoint, Dropbox and people's laptops
  • Workstations were bought at different times, and half of them struggle with the models you work on now
  • Job site internet drops, and the backup plan is someone's phone hotspot
  • An email asking to change a supplier's bank details looked real enough to pay
  • Your cyber insurance renewal asks about security controls nobody is sure you have
  • Backups run, but nobody has tested whether a live project could actually be restored
  • Consultants and subcontractors need access to files, and nobody tracks who still has it
  • IT falls to an office manager or a principal who has better things to do
  • Support comes from whoever is available, and they never know how your firm is set up

Your technology should keep projects moving, not slow them down. ELMIDA Solutions provides managed IT built around the way New York architecture, engineering and construction firms work, so your team can focus on the project in front of them.

How we operate

Complete technology management for design and construction firms.

Most IT providers treat an architecture studio or a contractor's office like any other office. We focus on firms that design and build, so every decision about hardware, storage, access and security starts from how project work actually happens.

Security first

Every engagement starts with protecting your project files, your accounts and the payments that move through your inbox.

Proactive management

Monitoring runs continuously, so problems get caught and fixed before they stall a deadline.

Direct support

Help from the person who knows your environment and explains things plainly.

Why ELMIDA

Built for the way design and construction firms work.

Architecture, engineering and construction firms run demanding software on demanding hardware, share very large files with outside teams, and work from offices, homes and job sites at the same time. Most IT providers treat them like any other office, and it shows.

We manage the whole environment from day one: workstations specified for the software, storage sized for the projects, security that meets what insurers ask for, and everything documented. When something needs attention, you hear from us.
