The major objectives of the Association of Cost Engineers (ACostE) are to promote Cost Engineering as a recognised discipline of engineering technology, to provide means of developing, exchanging and disseminating standards, methods and data relating to Cost Engineering and to provide recognised standards of attainment in the practice of Cost Engineering.

The Association of Cost Engineers represent all groups of Project Controls Professionals and not just, as the title suggests, Cost Engineers. It is the Association's belief that Cost Engineering is the common and intimately related thread though all Project Control Disciplines.
