State of the Art Systems at ACCI
  Our
leaders and teams are stellar, but no one could keep all the
necessary details of a large building project without tools
to coordinate trades and track progress.
ACCI's stellar record of
project control is a direct result of the robust systems we
have developed to manage, control, schedule, account and document
every aspect of the building process.
Each of these systems employs sophisticated
computer software that provides access to critical information
in a timely manner, allowing us to streamline schedules, control
costs and keep your project on track.
Estimating
 No
one wants to discover halfway through a project that
they are $1 million over budget.
ACCI's experienced estimators avoid this danger by determining
the actual costs of your project with much greater accuracy,
eliminating project failure due to poor estimates.
Our estimators
employ the Extended version of the popular Timberline
Precision™ estimating package. In fact,
this package was recently selected for use by one of
the largest construction companies in the United States
-- yet ACCI has been using it for years. |

Scheduling
 No
one needs to be told how important the schedule is,
but who knows which dependency path is the critical
one?
We do! Our project managers use
the premium Primavera
Project Planner (P3®) Scheduling
Platform. This advanced package schedules and
tracks each task in the project, taking into account
lead-times and multiple subtask interdependencies, then
automatically determining which tasks are on the critical
path (the red
bars in the photo).
When tasks slip or are completed, P3
updates the schedule and makes any necessary adjustments
in all the other tasks, helping ACCI keep your project
on track and on time. |

Project Cost Accounting
 Accounting
makes sure that all the money ends up where it should
be, at the right time. We use
Timberline Gold™ as our accounting platform,
for Job Costing, Accounts Payable and Payroll.

Document Control
 We
use Primavera's
Expedition® for document tracking, to help manage
every item shipped, every order, every plan and every
modification by the architect. Each one is logged in
our Document Control system.
This allows us to track what was ordered;
how many arrived and quickly locate needed details
to pinpoint and solve problems before they unduly impact
your project. |
How can we afford so many
complicated systems?
These systems save money and time
-- while they are complex and expensive,
their proper use pays off many times over in getting the job
done quickly, efficiently and within budget. Without
them, a single missed detail or schedule slip-up could be
quite costly.
These systems are powerful instruments in
the hands of our highly skilled project
teams.
