Founder

Name:	Timothy J. Peckham, P.E.
Title:	Founder
Education:	University of Wisconsin Madison Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering

Inspired by his father, a mechanical engineer who ran the Model Shop at A.O. Smith in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well as electrical contracting and steel fabrication businesses, Mr. Peckham embarked on a career in engineering, working as his father’s first employee when he was 12 years old.

Mr. Peckham is the founder and former President of ACS and currently functions as a working principal, overseeing strategic planning and managing projects for industrial clients.

ACS was conceived by an emerging market demand for a full service construction management firm and Mr. Peckham’s active response to fulfill the needs of his clients. When Harley-Davidson Motor Company and John Deere discussed their changing project delivery needs in the late 1980s, Tim listened, and provided a solution. That solution was the creation of ACS, a unique engineering and construction services firm that works as a team with companies seeking unique expertise and flexibility in the delivery of construction management services.

“ACS Delivers” isn’t just a company catch phrase, it’s a statement based on results and client satisfaction. It was Mr. Peckham’s commitment to delivering quality solutions that founded ACS, and today it’s a commitment sincerely shared by each of its nearly 100 employees.
