Client-specific.
Project-specific.

Every engagement is evaluated on its unique contract, legislation, commercial conditions, risks and client objectives. We reject one-size-fits-all methodology.

ACC does not sell software; we deliver professional construction analysis using the appropriate contractual, legislative, commercial and digital tools for each individual client and project.

// PERT methodology

Every stage duration is stress-tested with PERT.

PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique) models each activity with three estimates — optimistic, most likely and pessimistic — to produce an expected duration and variance. It lets us plan around realistic uncertainty in design, approvals, procurement, trades, commissioning and handover.

We integrate PERT with the live construction program, contract, drawings, procurement register, ITP, WHS controls, variations and delay records — it complements those controls, it doesn't replace them.

// Formula
E = (O + 4M + P) ÷ 6
V = ((P − O) ÷ 6)²
Critical path = zero-float chain
On Time
We respect your time and deadlines
On Budget
We manage costs effectively
Quality Assured
We build it right the first time
Safety First
We protect people and the environment
