Design Build

The design-build approach is a modern-day project delivery system that effectively collaborates the designers and contractors into one entity. This method overcomes the classic adversarial relationship between the designer and contractor. ACMS has the ability to develop a strong and effective design-build business model, in which the contribution of designers from their knowledge and experience in design and construction is applied. Our understanding of construction methods, permitting, scheduling, and budgeting allows us to design projects, while reducing cost and schedules. This cradle to grave understanding of project development enables our staff to develop phased schedules for large scale projects in which we effectively perform design and construction operations in parallel. These schedule compressions allows for faster delivery times and a reduction in overall project cost.

Program Management

ACMS offers complete program management services to public and private clients. ACMS’ new and innovative view point gives us a unique understanding of what can potentially go awry in any project, thereby allowing ACMS to pre-empt such events. Program management and project safety is an integral component of all that ACMS does. We carefully plan and organize all resources to achieve specific project and safety objectives.

Along with carefully planning and organizing all resources to achieve the project’s specific objective, our program management services extend to all the sectors we serve. ACMS has developed a meticulous system of management that is followed throughout every project, but customized to fit the needs of each individual client.
