We bring the subcontractors in before we design. Your project gets planned around the way it will actually be built — so it goes up faster, costs less and works better.

Integrated design
Most projects are drawn first and priced later. We do it the other way round.
The subcontractors who will build your job sit down with us before design starts, and we ask them how to do it better, faster and less expensively. That is why we never have to go back and add value engineering — we started with it. When the contractor helps plan the work, the job runs better, costs less and finishes sooner.
The people who will build it tell us how to build it well, before a line is drawn.
Planning moves quickly because there is no redesign loop waiting at the end of it.
Cost is engineered in from the first meeting instead of cut out of the drawings later.
How we work
Our success in Northeast Florida came from agreeing on a set of fundamental values, building a business around them, and then executing projects that exceeded every expectation. Listening — to clients, consultants and our own staff — is what keeps the quality there.
Clients, consultants and staff all shape the project. Listening to all three is how a professional services firm earns its reputation.
Owners, engineers, subcontractors and owner's staff come together as one group focused on winning for everyone — instead of looking for someone to blame.
The latest tools in architectural design, quick responses and multiple viewpoints — put to work on your goals, not ours.
Materials and methods
ACT encourages environmentally responsible design, and Brad Hollett, a LEED Accredited Professional, leads that side of our work. We have already proven we can build green at no additional cost — and that the building starts saving the owner money after a year or two. We also work with alternate energy sources and alternative building materials.
One combination we have made our own: insulated concrete block walls paired with a standing-seam metal roof. Together they produce a Category 5 rated building that costs about 10% less, goes up faster, carries a roof known to last over 100 years, and performs as one of the most energy-efficient envelopes available. Cheaper, faster and better — you do not have to choose.
