Which system tracks Air Force facility construction and maintenance projects?

The Automated Civil Engineer System (ACES) is designed specifically to support the management of Air Force facility construction and maintenance projects. This system integrates various aspects of civil engineering operations, allowing for effective tracking of project status, resource allocation, maintenance activities, and facility management. By utilizing ACES, civil engineers can ensure that projects are monitored efficiently from planning stages through execution and into maintenance, providing a comprehensive overview of facility conditions and project timelines.

While the other systems have relevant applications in construction and facility management, they each serve distinct purposes. For example, the Project Management Information System (PMIS) focuses more broadly on project management in general, which may not be limited to civil engineering projects. Building Information Modeling (BIM) emphasizes visual representations and data-sharing for specific projects rather than ongoing tracking of all construction and maintenance efforts. The Facility Condition Assessment Program (FCAP) evaluates and reports on facility conditions but does not serve as a comprehensive project tracking system. Therefore, ACES is recognized as the primary tool for tracking construction and maintenance projects within the Air Force context.
