Questions, answered

How quickly will I get my workstation?

Most workstations are built, tested and dispatched in under a week, with delivery anywhere in South Africa.

Which model is right for me?

Start with the guide above. If your work sits between the two, tell us which software you use and how big your projects get, and we'll recommend a configuration.

Should I buy a desktop or a laptop?

For Revit, AutoCAD, Inventor and the applications around them, mobility is the only thing a laptop has over a desktop; everything else favours the desktop. Our desktop vs laptop guide covers what you give up, who genuinely needs one, and the setups that work.

Can I change the specification?

Yes. Each model comes in three configurations, and if none fits, request a custom spec and we'll build around your workload.

What does the 3-year warranty cover?

Defects in materials or workmanship. We repair or replace failed parts with new or reconditioned parts of equal or better performance, and cover return shipping within South Africa. Monitors and other peripherals carry their manufacturer's warranty. Read the full warranty terms.

What support do I get after the warranty?

Every workstation includes lifetime labour and hardware support, including free installation of upgrades bought from us. Operating system and software issues fall outside hardware support.

How long do repairs take?

Most repairs are completed within 10 business days of the scheduled start, longer if a part is out of stock. Every repair is guaranteed for 30 days or the rest of your warranty, whichever is longer.

Will my software be installed?

Yes. Your workstation arrives with no bloatware and your preferred software installed and set up, ready to work on day one.

Can I cancel or return my order?

Yes, within 30 days of ordering, subject to our returns terms.

What computer do I need for Revit?

Revit depends on single-core clock speed and on memory sized to your model: 32GB for most projects and 64GB for multi-discipline models or real-time visualisation alongside, with an 8GB graphics card as the floor and 12GB or more for large scenes and 4K. Our Revit workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for Inventor?

Inventor is predominantly single-threaded, so sustained clock speed matters most, with 32GB of RAM as the floor and 64GB for assemblies above about 1,000 parts, and a DirectX 12 graphics card with 8GB or more. Our Inventor workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for AutoCAD?

AutoCAD mainly uses one core, so clock speed matters more than core count; 32GB of RAM and an 8GB DirectX 12 graphics card are the floor, with 64GB and 12GB or more for 3D, point clouds and the heavier toolsets. Our AutoCAD workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for Fusion?

Fusion wants both: single-core speed for modelling and eight or more performance cores for toolpaths, simulation and local rendering, with 32GB of RAM as the floor, 64GB for large assemblies and an 8GB graphics card. Our Fusion workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for Civil 3D?

Civil 3D inherits AutoCAD’s single-core behaviour but carries surfaces, corridors and imagery, so plan on 32GB of RAM as the floor and 64GB for large surfaces, with an 8GB DirectX 12 graphics card and 12GB or more for point clouds and 4K. Our Civil 3D workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for Twinmotion?

Twinmotion is led by the graphics card: 8GB is the floor, 12GB is where Lumen and 4K video stay smooth and 16GB covers VR and large scenes, with 32GB of RAM so that Revit or Archicad can stay open alongside. Our Twinmotion workstation guide covers Epic’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for Navisworks?

Navisworks is led by memory: Autodesk’s own advice is 64GB for large federated models, with 32GB for single-discipline review and 96GB where point clouds are appended, and a current dedicated graphics card matters more than a large one. Our Navisworks workstation guide covers the requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.

What computer do I need for ReCap Pro?

ReCap Pro is led by storage: two NVMe drives, one for Windows and ReCap and one for scan data, with 32GB of RAM for viewing and cleaning and 64GB or more for registering and indexing. Our ReCap workstation guide covers Autodesk’s requirements, our thresholds and which configuration fits.
