Because Losing a Design File Isn’t Just Frustrating—It’s Catastrophic

Here’s the harsh truth no architect wants to hear:

Your entire project library—those BIM models, 3D renderings, site photos, CAD files, and client presentations—is probably one tech failure away from disappearing.

Not because you’re careless. But because the tools you rely on weren’t built with architectural data protection in mind.

Hard drive crash? Ransomware attack? Simple human error?

Any of those can erase weeks—or years—of work. And when that happens, it’s not just your project that’s on the line. It’s your reputation.

That’s why forward-thinking firms in Salt Lake City are turning to Qual IT for automated, architecture-ready backup and recovery that does more than store files. It safeguards your designs, your deadlines, and your business.

The Hidden Risk Most Architecture Firms Ignore

Let’s break this down like a site section:

📐 You deal with massive files: Revit, Rhino, SketchUp, Enscape exports—these aren’t casual Word docs.

📂 Your team works across devices, studios, and job sites.

🔗 You rely on fast, flawless access to those files to keep your projects on schedule.

But here’s the problem:
Many firms still rely on outdated backup methods—or worse, no backup at all.

That means your work is at constant risk from:

  • 🔥 Hardware failure (a single workstation meltdown can take a whole project down)
  • 🛑 Ransomware (yep, architecture firms are now a prime target)
  • 🧍🏻 User error (accidentally overwritten files… we’ve all been there)
  • 🌪️ Natural disasters (hello, SLC earthquake zone)
  • ⚖️ Compliance gaps (if you’re not encrypting and logging backups, you’re not protected)

One tech hiccup can delay a project, cost a client, or kill your firm’s credibility.
