ACR consulting
In 2018, we established ACR consulting as a result of many years of observing systematically the same issues within the property and construction industries.
Such issues have been identified as 1 TRILLION dollars worldwide on opportunity savings within these industries coming from design and construction inefficiencies. Between 30% to 50% of any budget is at risk due to poor quality of the documentation - ambiguity, design errors and omissions - leading to construction failures.
Our mission is to help our clients to deliver projects more efficiently, mitigating such risks and consequently, obtaining better returns and benefits for all stakeholders.
Acting on behalf of our clients - large and small - we provide fully integrated property development and construction services, from inception to completion, focusing on establishing the right strategy and selecting the most suitable product first, and then leading to the successful delivery of the project.
WHY ACR CONSULTING
Because we provide certainty to our clients making property development and construction less risky and more accessible.
We put our clients first - from individuals and families to institutions and governments - treating their projects as ours, helping them to successfully achieve their goals.
Our key differentiator is the combination of our expertise and technical skills driven by our commitment, attitude and motivation.
By always challenging the ‘status quo’, we exceed our clients’ expectations, from small family investors to large companies.
THE ACR CONSULTING WAY
"The difference is not what we do, but how we do it"
Our results come from challenging the ‘status quo’ by efficiently leading and coordinating resources, effectively allocating risk, minimising costs and delays, and promoting best practices to enable a smooth delivery of our development and construction projects.
A big-picture mentality is applied to all our projects as a full integration of design, commercial and construction areas must be aligned to achieve a successful delivery. Any decision is thoroughly assessed to understand the implications on other disciplines.
By providing clear and ambiguity-free documentation and establishing the appropriate communication protocols to manage expectations from all stakeholders, we are able to deliver our projects within the established goals.
We base our methodology on avoiding, managing and resolving any project challenges throughout all stages, from Feasibility, Planning, and Design to Procurement and Construction.
OUR BASIC PRINCIPLES
AVOID
Risk is inherent to any construction project. We prioritise preventing actions to identify and mitigate risks, providing response plans to ensure there are no implications affecting budgets and programmes, causing disruption and costly disputes.
MANAGE
We monitor and control that the design, procurement and construction areas are according to the established targets so that the budget, programme and quality of the project are not affected. Monitoring and coordinating effectively with designers, specialist consultants and contractors is crucial.
RESOLVE
Acting promptly to resolve any issue is critical to minimise any potential disruption and costly implications.
We undertake a thorough analysis including all key constraints - time, cost and quality - in order to assist an informed decision-making process to confirm the best solution is implemented.
