ABOUT US

“The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.” – Babe Ruth

Started in 2000 with former colleagues who were instrumental in developing Palm Beach into the bustling community it is today, Jim Lucas created ACI Architectural Concepts to continue their passion for this community. Now twenty plus years later, we have become a primary leader in the field and have expanded to several different towns and counties throughout Florida.
