Technology strategy, roadmaps, and system design for architects and contractors in San Diego County.
IT consulting in San Diego should start with understanding how you win and deliver projects. We work with architecture firms and contractors to build technology strategies that match real workflows, not generic IT playbooks pulled from another industry.
We look at what you're using today, identify what's working and what isn't, and put together a roadmap with clear priorities. That might mean tightening your compliance posture for a DOD-adjacent contract, evaluating AI tools for takeoffs and document review, or connecting Procore to Sage so your project managers stop entering data twice.
Every engagement starts with a free technology assessment. After that, the scope depends on what your firm actually needs:
San Diego has a strong construction market, from military and DOD work to commercial build-outs and large residential projects. The IT needs of firms here are specific. Government contracts require NIST and CMMC compliance. Large project teams need reliable collaboration across offices and jobsites. And the tools that work for a 15-person architecture firm are different from what a 100-person GC needs.
We've worked with enough firms in this market to know the patterns. We don't waste your time recommending tools you'll outgrow in a year, and we don't overcomplicate things for a firm that just needs solid infrastructure and a clear plan.
Most of our consulting clients also use our managed IT services. Strategy without execution doesn't get you very far. We can build the roadmap and then handle the implementation, ongoing support, and monitoring. That way you're not coordinating between a consultant and a separate IT vendor.
If you already have internal IT staff, we work alongside them. We handle strategic planning and specialized projects while your team focuses on daily operations.
We start with a free technology assessment where we review your current tools, workflows, security posture, and goals. From there we build a prioritized roadmap with clear timelines and budget ranges. Some firms hire us for a one-time assessment. Others keep us on for ongoing advisory work alongside managed IT.
We're based in San Diego and most of our clients are in San Diego County, but we also work with AEC firms remotely across California and beyond. On-site visits are available for local clients when it makes sense.
Consulting is strategic: we help you decide what technology to invest in, how to structure your systems, and where to focus your budget. Managed IT is operational: we handle the day-to-day monitoring, help desk, and maintenance. Most of our clients use both.
Yes. We regularly help firms evaluate project management tools (Procore vs. Buildertrend vs. CoConstruct), accounting systems (Sage vs. QuickBooks), and design platforms. We've seen what works and what doesn't for firms your size.
Most of our clients have 10 to 150 employees. We work best with mid-size firms that have outgrown one-person IT but aren't large enough to justify a full internal IT department.
