Architecture and engineering IT in Dallas-Fort Worth

Permit set due at 8 a.m. The model has to open. Most IT companies have never tested a restore.

AutoCAD · Revit · Civil 3D · SharePoint

Recovery that includes the model, its references and the whole issued set. Tested, not hoped for.

When the software vendor blames the workstation, we get on the phone with them.

An architect views a house model beside printed plans while Trevor views a diagram linking a server, a cube and a database on another monitor. — We open the restore before you ever need it.

When the software vendor blames the workstation.

Windows Server 2016 security updates stop January 12, 2027. If one of yours runs it, plan the move now. What that means

What we check first, starting with the central model.

A sync folder is not a file server.

Revit worksharing does not account for OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox or Google Drive, and AutoCAD does not manage file locking in SharePoint or OneDrive. So two people can open the same drawing without a warning. We help pick the setup that fits the network you actually have. Autodesk says so for Revit and AutoCAD.

A drawing that opens can still be incomplete.

Xrefs, sheet sets, plot styles, fonts and Civil 3D data shortcuts have to come back with it. We keep backups isolated and test that all of it comes back.

The sealed set has to open in ten years.

The sealing architect keeps each sealed document legible for at least ten years from its signature date. A backup you can’t open later doesn’t count. We build and test the recovery around that. The rule: Texas architecture rule 1.103(c).

Designing for a defense project?

The firm still owes the CMMC self-assessments, even with Phase II suspended since 13 July 2026. A prime can’t award you a covered subcontract without your assessment from the last three years (DFARS 7020). And a cyber incident gets reported within 72 hours (DFARS 7012).

Revit is Windows. Your office probably isn’t.

Revit only runs on Windows, so the drafting stations are PCs and the principals and marketing are often on Macs. We run both, with the same project storage, printers and backups, at the same price per person. Mac and Apple support.

Big files, slow network.

Revit models, point clouds and full drawing sets are large. We size the network, the storage and the backups for files that size, so opening a model doesn’t mean a coffee break.

Billy Dunn and his sons KNOW the IT industry and are always ahead of the changes. We are blessed to be one of their clients.

Switching IT companies mid-project? How we take over

AI at an architecture or engineering firm

2025About $105,000 in extra work the firm stopped giving away

The result

About $190,000 in possibly uncompensated work turned up across active projects.

How it worked

An engineering firm kept saying yes to extra design revisions, site visits and alternative analyses, and kept not writing up contract amendments for them. Good clients ask, you help. We connected the firm’s Ajera project data with approved scope documents, change requests and project correspondence. AI flagged activity that might fall outside the original scope and built an exception report showing the source material behind each item. Project managers decided which ones justified more compensation. About $190,000 in possibly uncompensated work turned up across active projects. The firm secured about $105,000 in approved additional-services agreements and tightened its scope control.

How we build it

A drawing that opens can still be missing pieces.
