How we help AEC practices improve their digital operations

Comprehensive IT consultancy services tailored for architecture, interior design and project management firms.

🔄

Project delivery systems & Workflow Optimisation

Map how projects actually run across your teams, then streamline and standardise tools, templates and approvals so work moves faster with fewer errors. Often includes rethinking folder structures, drawing naming, transmittal processes and handover packs.

🏗️

BIM / CDE Integration & Standards

Align BIM, model sharing and information-management practices with what clients and contractors actually expect. We keep things proportionate for your size of practice, avoiding over‑engineering while still meeting ISO 19650 and client frameworks where needed.

🔒

Information Security & Client Requirements

Translate client IT and security questionnaires into a practical set of controls: access management, device standards, backup, incident response and more. Enough structure to keep clients confident without slowing your teams down.

☁️

Tooling & Licensing strategy (Microsoft 365, Autodesk, Etc.)

Make better use of the tools you already own – especially Microsoft 365 and related services – before buying anything new. Clarify who uses what, where data lives, and which licenses are actually needed.

🤖

Pragmatic AI & Automation in Operations

Identify the small number of places where AI and automation genuinely save time and reduce risk in your operations – from document workflows and reporting to repetitive project admin – without disrupting project teams.

👔

Fractional Head of IT / Operations Advisor

Ongoing support as a part‑time senior IT & Digital Operations partner. Someone who understands both the technology and the realities of running a 1–100 person AEC practice, without the cost of a full-time hire.

📊

IT Strategy & Digital Transformation Roadmaps

Build a clear, phased plan for where your IT and digital operations need to go over the next 1–3 years, aligned with business growth and client expectations.

🛠️

Custom Workflow Automation & Software

Through our partnership network, we can deliver bespoke automated workflows and software solutions tailored to your practice's specific needs – from project tracking to client reporting.

About

IT Synergies in brief

🎯

Deep sector experience

Around 30 years in IT, with roughly 19 of those working directly with architecture, interiors and project / construction management firms. We understand both the technology and the realities of project delivery and client expectations.

💡

Pragmatic, not theoretical

The aim is not to implement frameworks for their own sake, but to make your day-to-day operations smoother and less stressful. That means working with what you already have where possible, and explaining options in plain English.

🤝

Trusted partnerships

We work with a carefully selected network of specialist partners where needed – for security tooling, automation platforms or bespoke software. You get access to this capability without needing to manage a large supplier list.
