Azure Managed Services in the UK for Architecture & Engineering
Proactive Azure management that keeps your architectural practice running without interruption.
Fully Managed
We handle every aspect of your Azure environment — from provisioning and patching to performance tuning and incident response.
Security First
Continuous security monitoring, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting keep your Azure estate protected around the clock.
Cost Optimisation
We actively right-size resources, leverage reserved instances, and eliminate waste to keep your Azure spend under control.
Architecture Firms depend on Revit, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD to deliver results every day. When slow file synchronisation and rendering bottlenecks occurs, productivity and client confidence suffer. Managing Azure infrastructure internally diverts attention from your core architectural practice operations and requires expertise that is difficult to recruit and retain.
Cloudswitched delivers fully managed Azure services specifically for UK architecture firms. Our team handles proactive monitoring, patching, and optimisation of your Azure environment, freeing your staff to focus on serving clients. We monitor your Revit, AutoCAD, and ArchiCAD integrations around the clock, resolve issues proactively, and ensure your Azure environment meets RIBA and building regulations standards at all times.
How it works for Architecture businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.

Proactive Monitoring
We do not wait for things to break. Our monitoring watches CPU, memory, disk, network, and application health continuously — resolving issues before they affect your users.

Governance & Compliance
Azure Policy, role-based access controls, and regular audits ensure your environment meets regulatory requirements and internal security standards at all times.
3
Continuous Improvement
Monthly reviews identify opportunities to improve performance, reduce costs, and adopt new Azure features that benefit your workloads.
