Engineering and architecture firms run on projects—and those projects run on data. Drawings, BIM models, renderings, specifications, and project documentation grow with every revision and need to be accessible to the right people at the right time.
When document management breaks down, collaboration breaks down with it. Teams begin working from outdated files, storage systems become overloaded, and project coordination becomes more difficult than it should be.
Rekall supports engineering and architecture firms with IT environments designed around the way these businesses actually operate: large files, specialized software, complex collaboration, and teams that need reliable access to project information whether they’re in the office, at a client site, working remotely, or in the field.
For architecture and engineering firms, technology problems affect far more than productivity.
When teams can’t access current drawings, files are duplicated across multiple systems, or project data becomes fragmented, deadlines slip, coordination suffers, and costly rework can occur. A single version-control issue can impact an entire project team.
Your firm depends on fast, reliable access to enormous volumes of data. Your designers, engineers, project managers, and leadership teams need to collaborate seamlessly, regardless of location, while knowing that the information they’re using is current, accurate, and secure.
Your technology infrastructure shouldn’t slow projects down. It should help move them forward.
Rekall works with architecture and engineering firms across a wide range of specialties. If you don’t see your specialty listed here, chances are we’ve supported firms with similar workflows and technology requirements. Our experience across architecture and engineering is broad enough that we understand your software, collaboration needs, and project pressures before the first conversation.
Examples of the architecture and engineering firms we support include:
Rekall’s service offerings are a direct result of our clients’ needs. When architecture and engineering firms ask us for a particular service, we deliver. Some of those include:
Every call is answered by a person and directed to the technician most familiar with your firm or your specific concern. Our technicians are available from 8 am to 9 pm seven days a week, including holidays.
Every Rekall client receives unlimited remote support, allowing your office staff and field teams to get help quickly whenever issues arise.
Architecture and engineering firms generate enormous volumes of project documentation—from drawings and BIM models to specifications, renderings, RFIs, and submittals. Without the right systems in place, files are often duplicated repeatedly through email, creating storage issues, version-control problems, and confusion about which files are current.
Rekall implements both cloud-based and localized document management systems that centralize project information and provide teams with a single source of truth. By creating a single point of record for project information, firms spend less time searching for files and more time moving projects forward.
Architecture and engineering firms rely on specialized software for design, modeling, visualization, project management, and collaboration. Rekall regularly supports many of the platforms used throughout the industry, including:
Because our technicians work with these systems regularly, you’ll never spend valuable time explaining your workflow to someone unfamiliar with your business.
As projects become larger and more complex, many architecture and engineering firms outgrow traditional in-office servers. BIM models, renderings, and other large project files quickly consume storage and can strain aging infrastructure.
Rekall helps firms transition from traditional servers to private cloud environments designed to support the performance, storage, and remote access requirements of modern design firms. Your team gains secure access to applications and project files from anywhere while eliminating the cost and complexity of maintaining aging hardware in-house.
For firms that rely on specialized software or workflows that don’t always perform well in standard public cloud environments, Rekall’s private cloud provides a flexible alternative that supports the way your firm already works.
Today’s architecture and engineering firms rarely work from a single location. Project teams collaborate across offices, client sites, construction sites, and remote work environments, all while needing access to the same current information.
Rekall designs secure, reliable environments that keep your teams connected wherever they work. Whether employees are reviewing drawings in the office, meeting with clients, conducting site visits, or working remotely, they can access the files, applications, and systems they need without interruption.
For architecture and engineering firms, data loss can mean far more than lost files. Active projects, years of design work, project correspondence, and intellectual property all depend on systems that are backed up reliably and recoverable quickly.
Rekall backs up workstations, servers, cloud systems, and project data on a regular schedule, with encryption in transit and at rest. If a server fails, files are accidentally deleted, or a ransomware attack disrupts access to critical systems, Rekall can restore individual files, workstations, or entire server environments depending on what the situation requires.
For firms that require additional protection, Rekall can also establish temporary cloud-based environments that allow employees to continue working while underlying issues are resolved.
Architecture and engineering firms depend on technology to collaborate, produce deliverables, and manage growing volumes of project data. As firms expand, add offices, adopt new software platforms, or take on increasingly complex projects, technology decisions become more consequential.
Rekall works alongside firm leadership to plan for growth, budget for infrastructure investments, evaluate new technologies, and modernize systems at a pace that makes sense for the business.
From office expansions and cloud migrations to software implementations and infrastructure modernization, Rekall serves as a long-term technology partner invested in your firm’s success.
Architecture and engineering firms are increasingly exploring how AI can streamline administrative work, improve access to project information, and help teams work more efficiently.
Common areas of interest include searching and retrieving information across project documents, summarizing specifications and meeting notes, automating repetitive administrative tasks, and evaluating emerging design and visualization tools.
Because architecture and engineering firms manage sensitive project information and valuable intellectual property, AI implementations require thoughtful planning around security, data retention, access controls, and data ownership.
Rekall helps firms evaluate AI solutions, understand the security implications, and implement tools within secure business environments that align with the way the firm already works. Our goal is simple: help firms take advantage of AI without sacrificing security, control, or the integrity of their project information.
Learn about the Rekall Technologies team
An engineering firm was managing project files the way many firms do—through email. Drawings were attached, forwarded, revised, and re-sent until no one was entirely certain which version was current. Mailboxes reached capacity, storage demands continued to grow, and project coordination became increasingly difficult. Rekall implemented a centralized document management system that gave every team member access to the current version of every file, eliminated duplication, and reclaimed storage that email attachments had been consuming for years.
An architecture firm had outgrown its on-premises servers. As BIM models, renderings, and project files grew larger, performance slowed, and remote access became increasingly difficult for employees working from multiple locations. Rekall transitioned the firm’s systems to a private cloud infrastructure designed to support its specialized applications and growing storage requirements. The firm gained secure access to project files from anywhere, improved application performance, and eliminated the ongoing concerns associated with aging server hardware.
