Technology Built for Architectural Practices
You spend your days solving complex design problems, balancing creative vision with technical constraints, client expectations, and tight deadlines. You should not have to translate that world for your IT provider.
Your Practice Has Evolved. Your Technology Partnership Hasn't.
Architectural firms outgrow commodity IT support all the time: reactive tickets, generic advice, and a provider who specs an email-grade PC for a team pushing multi-gigabyte Revit models and overnight renders. Naming your software is table stakes now; engineering around how it behaves is not. When you are ready for that, we are here.
How It Is Currently…
Reactive Support, Zero Strategy
You're drowning in conflicting vendor advice, Autodesk subscription changes, and technology decisions with no clear business ROI. Your IT provider answers tickets but never helps you design smarter.
Lost Billable Hours
Your team loses hours every week to technology friction: files that won't sync, renders that crash, workstations that can't keep up. That time should be billable design work.
IT That Doesn't Get Design
Your provider treats Revit as a "specialty app" and sizes hardware like a spreadsheet. Central models take minutes to open, worksharing corrupts, and point clouds blow past the nightly backup window.
…How It Should Be
A Strategic Partner Who Understands Architecture
Technology decisions guided by someone who knows your software, your workflows, and your business model. Clear recommendations on Autodesk licensing, cloud strategy, and infrastructure, not generic IT advice.
Technology That Enables Great Design
Workstations spec'd for rendering, file access that's instant, and collaboration tools that work for distributed project teams. Technology that disappears into the background so your designers can focus.
IT That Speaks Your Language
Central models that open in seconds and worksharing that syncs clean across offices. Backups built for hundreds of gigabytes per project and a decade of archives.
Outcomes
Results You'll Actually Feel
The right partnership changes more than your support experience. It changes how your practice operates.
In the first 60 days
Response times measured in seconds not hours, hours returned to billable work, and a technology roadmap tailored to how your practice actually works.
In the first year
Design workflows streamlined, Autodesk licensing optimized, cloud costs under control, and time recovered every month for fee-earning work.
Over the long term
Higher revenue per head, faster project turnaround, healthier margins, and technology that grows with your practice rather than limiting it.
The real difference
Confidence in your technology decisions, mental space back for design leadership, and the ability to win on the quality of your work, not just your fee.
We Understand Where You Are
Running an architectural practice means balancing creative ambition with commercial reality: competitive fees, demanding clients, and technology that gets in the way of your best work. You’re not looking for another IT vendor; you want a partner who understands design-led business. We do.
The Frustration
You solve complex design problems every day and deserve a partner operating at the same level, not a vendor treating you like a ticket number.
The Breaking Point
Your team loses hours every week to friction that shouldn’t exist: Revit files that won’t sync and tools that don’t talk to each other.
The Competitive Reality
Other practices win better work at better fees, not because of talent, but because they know what a project costs and price with confidence.
The Inflection Point
Practices are embracing AI-assisted design, cloud collaboration, and workflow automation, and those still treating IT as a commodity expense risk being left behind.

Scott Proudfoot | Architect
Formosis Architecture
Resolved has been our managed service provider for nearly a year, and we could not be happier. As a landscape architecture firm using Macs and CAD software like Vectorworks, we rely heavily on their expertise. Reid, Mike, and the team are incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. When they do not have an immediate answer, they diligently research to find one.

FAQ
Questions firms ask
Do you work with architecture firms specifically? +
Yes. We build technology around how architectural practices actually work: workstations sized for Revit and rendering, worksharing that holds up across offices, and senior strategy on call, rather than treating Revit as a specialty app.
Can you handle large Revit models, worksharing, and point-cloud backups? +
Yes. Central models that open in seconds, worksharing that syncs clean across offices, and backups built for hundreds of gigabytes per project and a decade of archives.
Do you support Mac-based workflows and non-Autodesk tools like Vectorworks? +
Yes. We support Mac-based design workflows and tools like Vectorworks, alongside clear guidance on Autodesk licensing and cloud strategy for Revit-based firms.
Do you provide the workstation hardware, or just advise on specs? +
Both. We advise on the right specs and can procure and manage the hardware for you.
Do you support cloud worksharing platforms? +
Yes, including the major cloud worksharing and BIM collaboration platforms architecture firms rely on.
Is there a special price for architecture firms? +
No, there is no industry premium. Pricing is the same as for any firm: Managed IT from $165 per user per month, with assessment and Fractional CIO pricing shown on those pages.
Next Step
Put a two-year plan behind your IT spend
Most firms buy technology one urgent decision at a time, with no plan behind the spend. A Strategic Technology Assessment fixes that: where your firm is today, where you want to go, and a two-year roadmap and IT budget to get there, quarter by quarter.
No obligation, and you do not have to switch providers to get the assessment. Deliverables yours to keep.
