Architecture IT Services for Wisconsin & Illinois
Your firm runs on massive BIM and rendering files, tight project deadlines, and coordination between your team, contractors, and clients. Tobin Solutions provides managed IT services built around how architecture firms actually work — Revit and AutoCAD performance, large-file storage and transfer, and design data that can’t afford to be lost.
IT Support Built for Architecture Workflows
Architecture IT isn’t generic office IT — a slow workstation or a failed file sync can cost hours on a deadline day. We support the systems your firm actually depends on:
- Revit, AutoCAD, and BIM software support — keeping the platforms your team designs in running fast and reliably
- High-performance workstations — the graphics and processing power 3D modeling and rendering actually require
- Large-file storage and fast transfer — models, renderings, and drawing sets that outgrow typical office file-sharing tools
- Project collaboration across firm, contractor, and client — secure file sharing that keeps everyone on the current version
- Reliable backup for active project files — so a hardware failure never means redoing a design
Protecting Your Designs & Client Data
Unreleased site plans, client project details, and original designs are valuable — both to your firm and to attackers who know a ransomware attack right before a deadline creates enormous pressure to pay. We build security around what your firm actually has to protect.
- Ransomware protection and monitoring across workstations and project storage
- Protection for unreleased designs and client project details before a project goes public
- Secure file sharing for exchanging drawings and models with contractors and clients, in place of unsecured email attachments
- Backup & disaster recovery so an attack or equipment failure never puts an active project at risk
- Employee security awareness training to stop phishing before it reaches your project files

Architecture IT FAQ
Common questions from Wisconsin and Illinois architecture firms evaluating IT support.
What IT services do architecture firms need?
Most firms need three things: workstations and networking that can actually handle Revit/AutoCAD and rendering workloads, large-file storage and sharing built for BIM models rather than typical office documents, and reliable backup so active project files are never at risk. We provide all three as one coordinated service.
Can you support the specific hardware our workstations need for 3D modeling and rendering?
Yes. We spec, support, and maintain the higher-performance workstations that BIM modeling and rendering require, rather than treating every workstation like a standard office PC.
How do you handle large BIM and rendering files?
We set up storage and file-sharing built for large-file workflows — fast local and cloud storage options, and secure sharing that holds up when a model or rendering file is too large for typical email attachments or consumer file-sharing tools.
How do you protect unreleased designs and client project details?
Through access controls limiting who can see each project, secure file-sharing in place of email attachments, ransomware protection across workstations and storage, and backup & disaster recovery so an incident never means losing project work.
How do we get started?
Start with an architecture IT assessment. We’ll review your current workstations, storage, and security posture, then recommend a plan built around your firm’s actual workflow.
