RAPID DELIVERY. TOTAL TEAM COORDINATION.
DESIGN / BUILD
MANIFESTING YOUR VISION
Design-build streamlines project delivery through a single contract between the owner and the design-build team. This simple but fundamental difference saves money and time by transforming the relationship between designers and builders into an alliance which fosters collaboration and teamwork. United from the outset of every project, an integrated team readily incorporates BIM and LEED certification goals.

COMMERCIAL LEED
Critical to ACE investments is the inclusion of as many sustainable design features as possible in our buildings. With an eye towards the future and smart growth, our teams have implemented plans that provide a net positive impact for our buildings’ environmental footprint. Our commercial office buildings have received LEED Certifications by the Green Building Council.
ADVANTAGE SOLAR
ACE is implementing a program to install solar panels on the residential homes that it owns. With hundreds of thousands of square feet of rooftop surface area, ACE panels not only promise to provide energy efficiency for tenants and bring down the cost of powering a home, but excess energy generated from the solar panels is fed back into the electric utility grid, bringing down overall costs and increasing efficiency.

WEATHERIZATION
Northeastern winters can be brutal and dramatically increase energy use and the cost of warming a home or property. ACE routinely works with its property managers and tenants and provides the opportunity to weatherize their properties for the winter months. ACE will engage professional 3rd party winterization companies on behalf of each tenant as requested, as well as insulate plumbing and electrical connections.
