Advanced Consulting Solutions Group

What Advanced Consulting Solutions Group does

Advanced Consulting Solutions Group (ACS Group, LLC) is a privately held fire protection engineering and life safety consulting firm founded in 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm delivers code consulting, performance-based design, fire protection system design and review, commissioning, and construction administration services across the full project lifecycle — from pre-design through Certificate of Occupancy — for complex, high-stakes built environments. It serves enterprise clients including developers, architects, general contractors, and property owners across industrial and advanced manufacturing, data centers, higher education, life sciences, casinos and hospitality, healthcare, government, and mixed-use high-rise verticals, with notable exposure to lithium-ion battery and EV manufacturing facilities. The firm employs 22+ professionals, including licensed Professional Engineers and CFPS-certified specialists, across six offices in Nevada, Texas, Massachusetts, and Utah, and has completed over 770 projects for more than 275 clients since inception.

The company's service portfolio is organized around three integrated offerings: Fire Protection Consulting (code analysis, fire/smoke/egress modeling using CONTAM, Pyrosim, and Pathfinder, master egress planning, AHJ negotiation, and third-party design review); Industrial Engineering and Consulting (chemical hazard analysis, dust hazard analysis, high-piled storage analysis, and lithium-ion battery protection); and Fire Protection Management (commissioning, smoke control testing, installation inspections, and construction fire safety training). Technology enablement includes integration with the UpCodes platform, which has reduced technical report creation time by 50-75% across the engineering team.

Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based professional services engagements priced by scope and complexity, with multi-year contract cadences typical on large industrial and data center builds. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no reseller or distribution channels — it operates a direct enterprise field sales model in which licensed engineers engage clients directly. Leadership includes co-founders James Taylor, P.E. (CEO, formerly MGM Cotai commissioning lead) and David Neschke (Principal, 24-year industry veteran and former Navy fire protection specialist), supported by a CFO, VP of Engineering, three Regional Directors, and a Director of Code Compliance who is a former Travis County Fire Marshal.
