Who Are We?

Founded in 1956 as the American Association of Cost Engineers to advance the science and art of cost engineering, AACE International (The Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering) is an international non-profit association. AACE represents cost engineers, cost estimators, project managers, planners, schedulers, and other cost professionals engaged in all facets of total cost management.

AACE Canada was formed in 1985 to advance those same objectives and serve these same professionals in Canada. Together, AACE and AACE Canada have over 6000 members.

AACE provides a forum for the exchange of ideas about problems and advances in cost engineering in all types of industries. Through publications and meetings (local, national and international) AACE and AACE Canada keep their members and the public informed about important cost engineering issues.
