Our History
& Ethos

Introduction

Company History

ACS was formed in 1986 and so began our crusade to change attitudes within the industry.

The goal was to replace the old, adversarial nature of relationships with collaboration and joint problem-solving, thus creating an environment which promotes a positive, proactive approach to construction. This, in turn, would lead to a superior end product and satisfied clients who would work with us time after time.

Nearly forty years later, ACS can demonstrate a successful track record in several market sectors and a reputation built on by repeat orders from both clients and consultants.

At ACS, each year we invest in the future by strengthening our financial stability. By providing our own working capital we are not subject to the whims of a lender and can ensure strong management and good relations with our supply chain through prompt payment.

Our Team

We’re a close-knit team of passionate and skilled professionals

The team at ACS, supported by our broad base of loyal tradespeople and suppliers, has grown over the last forty years. There is mutual trust and respect. Each new project is viewed as an investment in our joint futures. Contrary to standard practice, ACS employs its own skilled staff, lightly supplemented by the use of subcontractors. This has been a deliberate choice to ensure total control of quality and workmanship.

We’re a close-knit team of passionate and skilled professionals and the individuals allocated to your project will be there, with you, from initial planning to final finish, which ensures a meticulous and professional approach to your project.

By caring for our employees and developing their skills through training, we have a more responsible, inspired workforce. This approach continues to pay dividends by allowing ACS to provide a flexible service and an end product of which everyone is justifiably proud.
