What Acms does

ACMS (doing business as ACMS Global) is a privately held, family-owned insurance restoration, disaster recovery consulting, and construction management firm headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, with additional regional offices in Texas and North Carolina. Founded in 1983 and led by Founder Dwaine Foster, President Cory Foster, and Operations Director Rosa Foster, the firm operates with 11-50 employees and serves commercial property owners, multi-family residential, hospitality, beachfront, historic, and office/education properties nationwide. The company markets four integrated core services: Insurance Restoration Construction, Construction Management (fund disbursement, progress monitoring, contractor management), Historic Insurance Restoration (with historic district compliance expertise), and Estimation & Documentation (independent loss assessment using estimating software and documentation equipment). Its documented project portfolio exceeds $200M across major disaster events including Hurricanes Hugo (1982), Andrew (1992), Katrina (2005), Harvey (2017), and Ida (2021).

The firm's go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with no third-party distribution channels, supported by a 24/7 toll-free line, a website-based New Project Request form, an extensive referral network, and content marketing through a blog. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed tiers; revenue is generated as professional services fees tied to project size and complexity. The customer base is defined by disaster-driven event cycles rather than recurring contracts, with primary demand from commercial property owners facing hurricane, flood, fire, hail, or freeze damage, and a specialized niche in historic properties governed by landmark commission requirements. The business model is consequently episodic and reactive to weather events, with revenue concentration risk tied to specific hurricanes or disaster seasons in the southeastern US.

The company is wholly owned by the Foster family with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed. There are no patents, no public certifications, and no data on formal partnerships beyond community charitable engagements with Nora's Home and the University of Mississippi Foundation. Technology claims center on "state-of-the-art" estimating software and documentation equipment, but no proprietary AI/ML, APIs, or software products are offered.
