How does Emirtech support Abu Dhabi architecture firms and engineering consultancies?
The Abu Dhabi architecture and engineering consultancy catchment combines international architecture firms, UAE national architecture and engineering firms, multidisciplinary engineering consultancies (structural, MEP, civil, environmental), specialised design houses and the supporting consultancy ecosystem. Distinct from main-contractor head offices (who build projects), architecture and engineering consultancies design projects — typically smaller offices, BIM-focused workflow, intensive use of Revit / AutoCAD / MicroStation / Navisworks / Rhino / SketchUp, large design-archive storage and client-facing presentation environments. Emirtech serves architecture and engineering consultancies with: BIM/CAD-capable workstations with adequate GPU and RAM for Revit, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Navisworks, Rhino, SketchUp; 10 Gbps networking in design and engineering bays where workflow demands; Cat6A or fibre cabling; large NAS / SAN storage for BIM models, CAD files and design archives; Microsoft 365 with MFA; EDR on every workstation; FortiGate / Sophos firewall with VLAN segmentation; third-party backup of BIM, CAD and design archives with off-site copies; boardroom AV (Microsoft Teams Rooms, Crestron) for client and consultant meetings; structured cabling; IP-PBX (lines and numbers come from du or e&, and Emirtech is not a telecom licensee); access control and biometric attendance; ADMCC-approved CCTV. Emirtech is not a BIM-implementation specialist (workflow design, federation strategy, family library development); not an Autodesk-certified consultancy; not affiliated with any specific architecture / engineering firm. As a security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) based in Mussafah M44 since 2018, we serve Abu Dhabi architecture and engineering consultancies commercially.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install IT in Abu Dhabi architecture firms and engineering consultancies?
Yes. Emirtech installs BIM/CAD workstations, structured cabling, NAS/SAN storage, boardroom AV, M365, EDR, FortiGate, backup and supporting IT for Abu Dhabi architecture firms, engineering consultancies, design houses and project-management consultancies.
Are you a BIM-implementation specialist?
No. BIM implementation as a workflow exercise — federation strategy, family library development, model coordination, Common Data Environment (CDE) configuration — is handled by specialist BIM consultancies. Emirtech delivers the underlying IT infrastructure that BIM workflows run on top of.
Are you Autodesk-certified or affiliated with any architecture-software vendor?
No. Emirtech is an independent security and IT systems integrator (ADMCC-approved for security systems) — not Autodesk-certified, not affiliated with Bentley Systems, Trimble, Graphisoft, McNeel (Rhino) or any specific architecture-software vendor or design firm unless explicitly on record.
Can you size NAS for BIM model libraries?
Yes. We size NAS, SAN or hybrid storage to BIM and CAD workflow — typical active-project storage is TB-scale, archive storage can be many times larger. Tiered storage (fast production + cooler archive) for cost-effectiveness.
Do you do client-presentation boardroom AV for architecture firms?
Yes. Microsoft Teams Rooms and Crestron-controlled boardrooms with high-resolution displays for client presentations of designs, BIM walkthroughs and review meetings.
How do I get a quote for an architecture or engineering firm project?
Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free architecture/engineering consultation. Share your firm type, headcount and design / BIM workflow. A specialist will respond with a scoped proposal once the survey is done.
