Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Managed IT

Managed IT Services & IT Support for Architecture, Engineering & Construction Firms

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms across Dallas–Fort Worth rely on fast, reliable technology to keep projects moving. Slow CAD/BIM performance, unstable VPNs, disconnected job-site teams, and growing cybersecurity risks create delays, rework, and rising project costs. As project timelines tighten and teams become more distributed, your IT foundation must fully support design workflows, field operations, and client delivery.

Mentis Group helps AEC firms eliminate operational risk and improve project delivery with proactive managed IT, built-in cybersecurity, and a structured alignment process led by dedicated CIO guidance. By standardizing your technology, strengthening cyber insurance and industry compliance readiness, and optimizing performance for large design files and distributed teams, we ensure your firm can build, design, and collaborate without interruption.

The Technology Challenges Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Firms Face Today

Architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms across Dallas, Fort Worth, and the greater DFW Metroplex depend on fast, stable technology to keep projects on schedule. Large CAD/BIM files, cloud collaboration, project-site connectivity, and distributed design teams all place heavy demands on your IT infrastructure – making performance, uptime, and secure access mission-critical.

When systems lag, VPN connections drop, or files fail to sync, project timelines slip and costs rise. Outdated hardware, unreliable networks, and weak cybersecurity controls introduce operational, financial, and compliance risks – especially when teams rely on real-time access to models, drawings, and job-site data.

Are large design files, slow renders, or outdated hardware dragging down your project workflows?

You need high-performance, AEC-optimized IT infrastructure built to handle CAD/BIM workloads, speed up rendering, and keep teams moving without delays.

Are remote or job-site teams struggling to access drawings, models, and files in real time?

You need modern cloud workflows, secure remote access, and collaboration tools built for distributed AEC teams working across multiple sites.

Are you worried a cyberattack or weather event could halt operations or delay upcoming projects?

You need a resilient backup and disaster recovery strategy built to protect project files, schedules, and client deliverables.

Are unpredictable technology costs cutting into your project margins?

You need clear IT budgeting, lifecycle planning, and cloud cost optimization designed for architecture, engineering, and construction firms.

Are new tools, software updates, or workflow changes overwhelming your current workforce?

You need AEC-focused technology guidance, software standardization, and ongoing user training that helps your teams adopt the tools they depend on.
