Managed IT Services for Vancouver AEC Firms
The IT department your Vancouver architecture, engineering, or construction firm never knew it needed — built for Revit workflows, RFP deadlines, and the file security your clients expect, not generic break-fix support.
Vancouver's Managed IT Partner for Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Firms
We've supported Vancouver's AEC firms since 2010 — before founding Huntertech, our team ran IT inside a global architecture and engineering firm here in Vancouver. We know what Revit central files, BIM 360 (now Autodesk Forma Design Collaboration), and RFP deadlines actually require, because we've been the internal IT department responsible for them.

What "IT Is Handled" Actually Looks Like Underneath
Most AEC firms we meet believe their IT is fine — until we look. Here's the gap between what feels handled and what's actually exposed.
| What You Think | The Hidden Risk | The Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Access "Remote workers access the server fine." | ✗ Open RDP ports or port forwarding — a standing invitation for ransomware | ✓ Zero-trust secure hybrid access |
| Hybrid Collaboration "We use BIM 360 for all hybrid collaboration." | ✗ A sledgehammer for a remote-work problem — BIM 360 (now Autodesk Forma Design Collaboration) is built for coordinating with external consultants. If your projects don't require that, you're paying up to $115/user/month for a collaboration layer you don't actually need. | ✓ LucidLink optimization — cloud-streaming file spaces that can save enough to cover the IT fee |
| Email Security "Emails work and we just tell people not to click shady RFP links." | ✗ Reputation risk — phishing scams targeting AEC firms keep getting more sophisticated, and one fooled employee exposes your accounts, your data, and your clients | ✓ 24/7 Security Operations Center monitoring your accounts and activity, so someone catches it even if a person gets fooled |
| Project Tracking "We track our time and projects in Excel." | ✗ Fine at 5 projects — but the weight of manual tracking buries your free time and the firm as you scale, with no real visibility into project status or profitability | ✓ Better workflows with proper reporting — real visibility into your projects and profitability, and we help you implement the right technology for your firm and its size |

Frequently Asked Questions
We've been handling IT informally for years — why do we need a managed provider now?
Most AEC firms we work with were handling IT competently until they weren't. The gaps aren't usually obvious — reused passwords already in breach databases, security tools installed but never configured properly, hardware specs a few years out of date. We do a lot of assessments where everything looks fine from the outside and the findings are genuinely surprising.
Can you actually support our software stack — Revit, BIM 360 (now Forma), AutoCAD?
Yes. Before founding Huntertech, our team ran IT inside a global architecture and engineering firm here in Vancouver — not as a vendor, as the internal department responsible when Revit central files broke or simulation jobs ran overnight. We've supported AEC firms specifically since 2010.
