Advanced Control Corporation

What Advanced Control Corporation does

Advanced Control Corporation is a privately held Florida-based building technology integrator founded in 1987, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale with a secondary office in Clearwater serving the Tampa Bay market. The company designs, installs, and maintains building automation systems (BAS), energy management platforms, and integrated security solutions (access control, CCTV, and Video Surveillance as a Service) for commercial, healthcare, industrial, and institutional facilities. Its core technical offering is an open-architecture BAS that integrates HVAC, lighting, security, and energy subsystems using industry-standard protocols (BACnet, LonWorks, Modbus, OPC) supported by more than 200 third-party communication drivers, with optional cloud-based analytics via Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Building Advisor for fault detection and diagnostics.

The company operates a sales-led, field-based go-to-market, reaching customers through direct outreach, on-site consultations, and complimentary system evaluations from its two regional offices. Revenue is generated through a combination of project-based design and installation work and recurring managed services under its branded 'I am Service' annual maintenance program, which covers preventive maintenance, system monitoring, training, and emergency response. Customer segments span small-to-mid-size buildings (25,000–100,000 sq ft), multi-building portfolios, healthcare facilities, and industrial plants, with custom-engineered solutions tailored to each facility's requirements.

The company is led by co-founders Matthew Jones (President & CEO) and David Jones (Vice President), operates as an independent private business with no disclosed institutional investors, and positions itself as an early adopter of green building practices with USGBC membership and a track record on LEED-certified facilities. Its strategic posture is that of a stable regional systems integrator with incremental product expansion into cloud analytics and managed security services.

• Control Solutions Inc. Regional BAS integrator with similar service portfolio (HVAC controls, security, energy management) to ACC, typically operating in adjacent geographies rather than directly in South Florida.

Emerging players

• Distech Controls: Independent BAS and lighting controls vendor with strong IP-based and BACnet product lines. Competes with ACC for smart-building projects where open-protocol, vendor-agnostic integration is required.

Direct peers

• Automated Logic Corporation: A leading BAS manufacturer and controls integrator specializing in commercial HVAC and energy optimization. Closely comparable to ACC in product mix (BAS, energy dashboards, integration services) and target mid-market customer profile.
