Raeco Builders attains AC478 accreditation

AC478 IS A NATIONAL STANDARD RECOGNIZING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE IN METAL BUILDING ASSEMBLY

Raeco Builders has attained AC478 Accreditation – a standard administered by the International Accreditation Service (IAS) and promoted by the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association (MBCEA) that recognizes metal building assemblers that maintain a demonstrated commitment to excellence. Raeco Builders is the first metal building assembler based in South Dakota to obtain the prestigious AC478 accreditation, and one of fewer than 25 companies nationwide.

The MBCEA recognizes AC478 as “the most comprehensive quality assurance accreditation of its kind for metal building assembly.” Achieving this accreditation confirms that Raeco Builders has the personnel, organizational skills, experience, knowledge, management procedures, and commitment to assembling metal buildings in accordance with code, specifications, costs and deadlines. Requirements for this accreditation include documented management systems, rigorous safety training, quality managers, OSHA training, documented safety plans, site-specific plans, and other documentation. AC478 accredited companies are also subjected to annual internal audits and management reviews.

AC478 EQUALS TOTAL PROJECT ASSURANCE

Earning AC478 accreditation isn’t just about meeting a standard—it’s about delivering total project assurance. This rigorous accreditation ensures that a metal building contractor or erector has the proper training, quality control processes, and safety protocols in place to execute projects with precision and reliability. From compliance with OSHA safety standards to documented procedures for structural integrity, AC478 provides peace of mind to project owners, general contractors, and developers alike. It signifies that a company is committed to excellence, reducing the risk of costly errors, delays, and safety incidents. When a firm is AC478-accredited, it stands as a trusted partner in delivering metal building projects on time, on budget, and to the highest industry standards.
