What Does "AACE" Stand For?

The legal name since 1992 is AACE International. In 1956 the organization was established as the American Association of Cost Engineers. While you may have seen that “AACE” stands for the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering, this is only a statement that encompasses the work of the Association, not a legal name.

ABSTRACT:
Construction projects often experience changes during the period of performance, which typically require the contractor to quantify impacts to negotiate change orders. Time impact analysis (TIA) is a recognized modeling technique that can be used prospectively to quantify impacts prior to changed work being performed. This session will identify when it is appropriate to utilize a TIA during the project to negotiate change orders and will provide guidelines for properly implementing this modeling technique.
