What Client’s Say

“It is very unusual to see an Engineering firm that goes beyond professionalism, and reaches clients on a personal level as an equal partner and friend.  The ACRS team came through for us on some crucial deadlines, and the entire staff stayed and worked many weekends to meet the goal.  We never heard anything about incremental charges for such a huge effort.  They have demonstrated commitment to providing a quality service while paying attention to details and coordinating all aspects of our projects.” 
Mitch Johnson, Almega Cable
“ACRS is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the project is completed not only in a professional manner but within the proposed timeline.  We would highly recommend ACRS to anyone contemplating similar endeavors.”
Edward Hilliary, Medicine Park Telephone Company
“ACRS has been successful in acquiring both USDA Rural Utilities Service loan and grant dollars on numerous occasions.  ACRS is the national leader in the acquisition of RUS Community Connect Grants.
Dustin Hillary, Wichita Online
“The decision to use ACRS as our engineering and consulting firm is one of the best that our company has made and one that we have never looked back upon.  We will continue to maintain our relationship with ACRS as a quality and reputable firm.” 
Jennifer Johnson, Crystal Broadband Networks

The superb feasibility study prepared by ACRS, and James’ winning personal nature made the difference for the Osage Nation to be awarded two, $3M Community Connect America grants from the USDA’s Rural Utility Service

Paul Bemore, Osage Nation Utility Authority

The ACRS (broadband feasibility study) proposal showed a true partnership between two entities, and the services which we have been provided since contract award have only echoed that partnership.  ACRS is a professional engineering firm in every sense and personalizes their approach to the client as opposed to commoditizing a service.
