IT Support for Architecture in Greenwich
Specialist managed IT support for Greenwich architecture practices, keeping CAD workstations, large file transfers and project data running smoothly.
Workstations kept fast
Proactive monitoring and rapid helpdesk response keep CAD and BIM workstations running through tight design deadlines.
Project data protected
Encryption, access controls and tested backups protect drawings and client project files from loss, ransomware and unauthorised access.
Compliance evidenced
Documented policies, access logs and audit trails give you the paperwork needed for professional body and client due diligence.
Architecture practices in Greenwich need IT support that handles large files and never misses a submission.
Running an architecture practice in Greenwich means keeping CAD and BIM workstations fast, large drawing files transferring reliably, and project data secure through planning submissions and client reviews. Cloudswitched supports Greenwich practices from our City of London base, combining round-the-clock remote monitoring with scheduled on-site visits via the Jubilee line, DLR and A2. We manage the helpdesk, cybersecurity, cloud and compliance so you can focus on design, not IT problems.
Architecture in Greenwich
The business environment
Greenwich combines a UNESCO World Heritage riverside centre with the major regeneration hub of Greenwich Peninsula, home to the O2 arena and an expanding cluster of new-build residential and commercial development. This gives local architecture practices a mix of heritage-sensitive conservation work and large-scale contemporary design projects.
Why businesses locate here
Practices choose Greenwich for proximity to major regeneration schemes on the Peninsula, strong transport links via the Jubilee line, DLR and riverboat services into central London, and a working environment that blends historic character with modern development.
The local economy
Greenwich's economy blends heritage tourism, ongoing residential and commercial regeneration around the Peninsula, and established local development, creating steady demand for architectural, planning and design services.
Businesses turn to us when
CAD or BIM workstations slow down ahead of a submission deadline
Large drawing files need faster, more reliable transfer to clients and contractors
Project archives need backing up properly, not just saved locally
Staff need secure remote access for site visits or client meetings
A professional body review requires evidence of data security practice
The practice is growing and needs IT that scales without disruption
Why choose us for IT support?
We work daily with architecture and design practices and bring that CAD-and-BIM fluency directly to your Greenwich studio.
Based in the City of London, we combine 24/7 remote monitoring and helpdesk with scheduled on-site visits via the Jubilee line, DLR and A2, giving Greenwich practices reliable local cover.
Our security-first approach protects project data and drawings with layered defences, staff training and backups that are genuinely tested.
We report clearly and without jargon, giving directors and practice managers the documentation they need for reviews and client assurance.
Connectivity and infrastructure in Greenwich
Dependable infrastructure built for the demands of large-file design work.
Resilient by design
Full-fibre coverage continues to expand across Greenwich, including around the town centre and Greenwich Peninsula, and we design connectivity with failover so a line fault never stalls a large file transfer. Cloud-hosted project platforms reduce reliance on local infrastructure, while structured, tested backups protect drawings and archives throughout a project's life.
Compliance we help you meet
The frameworks your Greenwich architecture practice is measured against, and where we help you evidence control.
UK GDPR
Access controls, encryption and documented procedures protect client and project data and help you meet your obligations as a data controller.
Intellectual property protection

ISO 27001-aligned practice
Documented policies, access logs and tested recovery procedures give you an information-security posture aligned to ISO 27001 principles.
Data backup standards
Regular, tested backups protect drawings and project archives against loss or corruption, particularly during active project phases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Most day-to-day support runs remotely and resolves issues quickly. For hardware, network changes or anything hands-on, we schedule on-site visits to Greenwich via the Jubilee line, DLR and A2, with priority attendance ahead of submission deadlines.
Yes. We monitor and maintain workstation performance, optimise hardware and storage for large model files, and prioritise support tickets around submission deadlines, so a technical issue never becomes a missed deadline.
Encryption, access controls and multi-factor authentication protect drawings and project files, while automated tested backups mean you can recover work quickly if something goes wrong.
Yes. We set up secure remote access with enforced multi-factor authentication, so architects and staff can work from a site visit or client meeting without exposing sensitive project data.
Yes. We provide documented IT policies, access records and backup evidence that practice managers can reference when a professional body review or client due diligence process asks about data security.
Monitoring alerts us to suspicious activity around the clock, often before it is noticed internally. A predefined response plan governs containment and communication, so we act quickly to limit impact and protect client trust.
