IT Support for Architects and Surveyors in Leeds
Big CAD and Revit files, without the VPN pain.

Slow servers, VPN dependence and messy version control cost billable hours. Futurah IT gives Leeds practices fast, secure collaboration built around Microsoft 365 and Autodesk.

What’s essential
What’s essential for IT in architects and surveyors?
Three things decide whether IT helps or slows architecture and surveying practices. Get these right and most day-to-day problems disappear.
01
Fast access to large CAD and BIM files
Revit and AutoCAD files are big. Slow storage and VPNs waste billable time.
02
Clean collaboration with consultants
Sharing models and drawings externally needs control, not email attachments.
03
Backups that protect years of projects
Your project archive is the business. It has to be protected and recoverable.
