Introducing: ACG Ltd

ACG Ltd. Is an Architectural Consultancy based in Bristol. Operating throughout the UK.

We provide a range of construction focused services. Specialising in the creation of bespoke digital twins based on the Matterport platform.

Using our drone resource and ground based cameras, we capture architectural still and video imagery for inclusion in design, construction and marketing.

ACG Ltd was established in 1996. Initially as an architectural consultancy operating in the retail sector.

During the lockdown in 2020. The business pivoted to embrace our current suite of services

Appreciating the global shift towards digital transformation, the established use of hybrid working and on line conferencing and not least the evolving focus on the setting of climate targets, the ACG Digital Capture Studio was launched as an inclusive, fully functioning service in 2022.

To date ACG Digital twins have been accessed for commercial use on 18,472 occasions in 18 countries.

In addition to providing 3D Replicas of buildings and sites, the service includes unique processes for issuing output and also the ability for clients to maintain a large portfolios of virtual estates without incurring the base platforms hosting fees which can become unsustainable.

The creation and maintenance of a virtual estate, of whatever size, presents Estate Managers and construction professionals the opportunity to visit properties from the desk top. Delays and costs can be avoided when caused by weather and traffic disruption, ULEZ, Congestion charges and the inevitable duties that running EV Fleets will attract in the future.

Savings in cost and time are compounded by the potential to substantially reduce scope one and scope three carbon emissions. These relating to non essential business travel. Use of the ACG Digital capture studio can therefore be quoted in Carbon reduction plans.

In addition to capturing existing infrastructure, Working from architects and interior designers drawings, the ACG Digital Capture Studio can create output as 3D Walkthroughs on buildings and interiors at the design stage.

Productivity, collaboration and engagement in a Hybrid working model is enhanced by providing online, 24/7 access to digital twins of buildings and sites.

During on line conferencing, ACG Output becomes the key component for reference. The focal point for conversations relating to the physical element of the project. The virtual equivalent of attendees walking the site.

A maintained virtual estate enables owners, managers, consultants, contractors and suppliers to perform elements of their roles more efficiently and without incurring the costs associated with site attendance. Tasks Including preparation of feasibility studies, condition/Dilap surveys, requests for information, costing exercises and tender returns can be performed at the desktop.

In addition to several other utilities, ACG Have recently added AI Powered concept design.

Founded ACG Ltd in 1996

Having provided  architectural services to the retail sector for over 20 years I made the decision to pivot the business into the evolving world of digital transformation.

The company had been using drones commercially since 2017. This element of the service was expanded to incorporate high resolution video capture and broadcast quality editing.

The primary focus for ACG V2.0 was the development and launch of the Matterport based ACG Digital Capture Studio.
