Cost & Quality Control

Maintaining cost and quality is of the utmost importance in delivering your project. Listed below are the programs ACCO has in place to ensure that your project is constructed at the least cost without compromising quality or performance.


VALUE ANALYSIS

ACCO will participate with the design team to provide analysis of cost versus performance on all aspects of the mechanical system and other trades. Equipment can be evaluated to consider price, performance, installation, service and operating cost. Duct and piping distribution systems can be evaluated for economies in routing and serviceability.
