As technology partners, we can help you achieve your business and project goals through simple, integrated IT support and solutions. We understand where your IT infrastructure is today, where it needs to be tomorrow, with an eye on future trends. More importantly, we guide clients through BIM and CAD technology adoption and utilisation.
We can help you set strategy and implement non-disruptive change. Whether you work with Microsoft Windows or MacOS; Autodesk Revit or Bentley Microstation, we provide a full spectrum of theory-to-practice services.
We advise on appropriate, 'best fit’ workflows, solutions and design tools to deliver your business goals. Securely and risk-free. As a result we can help to reduce total cost of ownership over time.
We operate in the construction and creative sector and an expanding portfolio of Engineering, Design and Graphic professionals via bespoke on-site and remote support methodologies. And being in Clerkenwell London also means we can get to you, fast.
Contact us today to discuss your IT or BIM support requirements.
Our clients deliver award-winning projects like the Centrepoint redevelopment, Trinity Leeds Mall, and Television Center as well as smaller residential projects. Regardless of the size, our job is to ensure that they don’t have to worry about whether there’s a back-up in place, enough server storage, or whether their network or email communications are secure. And they certainly don’t need to think about the configuration of the technology behind remote working or collaboration between multiple office locations in the UK, or globally.
Nittygritty provide high-performance coordination of all IT systems: connecting teams and streamlining operations cost effectively. Combined with our CAD/Revit/BIM training, services and apps, we are a business and technology adoption partner.
As an architecture and design focused IT and BIM company, we have a unique understanding of project flows, teams, and the deadlines that are part of every building being designed, constructed, and operated.
You don’t need to explain to us the difference between a GA, a detail drawing or an elevation. We know that printed colour and lineweights matter and we are experts in the finer points of project setup and family creation in Revit. We also know our CAPEX from our OPEX, PAS 1192 from COBie, and the difference between a BMS and CAFM. From day one, our team gets into action, working with you to establish where your organisation most needs help and simply getting on with making things work.
Likewise, you don’t need to know a server from a switch or the difference between Amazon and Azure. We will avoid the jargon and language obfuscation that plagues our industry when discussing your business requirements with you. You just need to know that we’ve got our eye on your entire IT infrastructure, ensuring web, desktop, mobile and applications are optimised for daily functions.
Our helpdesk NGneers® quickly resolve everyday complex IT issues, whilst our BIMgineers® painstakingly walk your team through 2D to 3D transitions, or the latest software updates from Autodesk or Bentley. Technology adoption for your team is the goal to faster projects.
Coffey Architects' Will Chan interview with BIM Plus
How has the practice upskilled itself to start working in BIM?
We sought help from Nittygritty to set up BIM in the practice. They have extensive experience helping architectural practices to implement BIM so they understand well the challenges medium-size design-led practices like us face in making this transition. They have provided training sessions for key members in the studio and teams, which would use BIM on their projects, and are also providing ongoing BIM support for us.

Will Chan/ Coffey Architects
Their input has proved invaluable, their expertise and knowledge fully supporting the often complex IT requirements for the practice. They ease the pressure by providing our team with support, training and the necessary systems for efficient every-day use. With fortnightly site visits to maintain our server and other business essential IT services, they’ve liberated CDA from employing a specialist, expensive member of staff to deal with these day to day issues. Their approach to trouble shooting ensures urgent matters are promptly dealt with.

We have worked with NittyGritty since our own inception as DunnettCraven Architects in 2005. Our contacts and visiting IT professional have remained unchanged in that time and provided us with exceptional involvement and continuity as we have developed and grown the practice. We rely heavily on them for advice and state of the art information for all our IT needs as an international architectural practice. In the last year we have migrated over to using BIM/Revit, as well as the Newforma Project Management system, on their recommendation. It is a very specialised professional service and we have built a close relationship of trust"
