ACEC is a member of the Fédération Internationale d’Ingénieurs Conseils (FIDIC). This global umbrella organization was founded in France in 1913 and represents the business and commercial interests of consulting engineering companies around the world.
FIDIC has over 80 national member associations and associate members, and its mandate is to implement the industry’s strategic goals on their behalf. Its member firms endorse the federation’s statutes, comply with its Code of Ethics, and advocate the selection of engineering firms on the basis of quality, not the lowest price.
FIDIC organizes international and regional conferences and training programs, and its publications are widely used in the engineering industry. These include project contract forms, professional services agreements, and international best-practice guides. For more information about FIDIC, visit the federation’s website at www.fidic.org.
FIDIC is offering a series of bulletins on the impact of COVID-19 on business practices in consulting engineering firms. The bulletins focus on a variety of topics such as internal business practices, the external business environment, new opportunities, gender impacts, young professional’ impacts, preferred technologies, post-COVID transition, etc…

The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada (ACEC) is a not-for profit organization that has been the voice of Canadian consulting engineering companies since it was founded in 1925.
Consulting engineers offer professional engineering services and expertise to both public and private sector organizations.
ACEC's Board sets the association’s mission and strategic priorities; is responsible for its finances; and evaluates its performance against its strategic priorities.
The ACEC team is a small group of talented and engaged professionals that work tirelessly to support our efforts and our industry in the best way possible.
ACEC's ten provincial and two territorial member organizations represent every region of Canada. All member organizations are independent, not-for-profit associations that are incorporated in their own province or territory.
To conduct its business, our association relies on a number of committees, task forces, and other advisory bodies. These volunteer groups are indispensable to the work of the association.
ACEC respects and upholds an individual's right to privacy and to protection of his/her personal information. We gather information about your visit for internal statistical purposes regarding the use of our website.
