How ACS Group Cut Report-Writing Time by Up to 75%
At ACS Group, every project starts with a code question — and often, several more follow. Our work spans complex facilities where code compliance isn’t straightforward, and the rigor we apply to every technical report reflects that. ACS Group’s reputation is built on rigorous code research. The tools our team uses have to support that standard.
That’s why Tanner Burke, P.E., Vice President of Engineering, made UpCodes a standard part of how our team works.
UpCodes is a cloud-based platform that centralizes building codes, amendments, and project documentation in one place. For a fire protection consulting firm that runs multiple active projects at any given time, the ability to pull up the exact code section you need has a direct impact on how efficiently we deliver work: during a client call, during a markup session, or at the start of a report.
Tanner recently participated in a case study with UpCodes, sharing how ACS Group uses the platform day-to-day.
Key outcomes from the case study:
- Technical report creation is now 50–75% faster, saving up to three hours a day
- UpCodes functions as both a code reference and a project knowledge base, keeping teams organized across active engagements
- It’s become part of our standard onboarding alongside Microsoft Word and Excel
“Writing reports is the most time-consuming part of my job. If I have all my notes and code sections ready in UpCodes, I get a four-hour writing block down to one or two.” — Tanner Burke, P.E., Vice President of Engineering
The efficiency gains matter. But so does what those gains make possible: more time for the analysis our clients depend on, and less time spent on administrative code-pulling.
