Tune In, Snack Up, Build Smart!

Here at Raeco Builders, we’re passionate about what we do: constructing the robust commercial and industrial buildings that serve the Midwest, from Sioux Falls to Rapid City and beyond. We talk a lot about the steel, the concrete, the general contracting, and the innovative solutions we bring to complex problems. But we also believe that learning about the intricacies of building doesn’t have to be dry. In fact, we think it can be pretty… snackable!

That’s precisely why we launched The Structural Snackdown Podcast. It’s our unique way of bridging the gap between serious industry insights and a bit of lighthearted fun, all while reinforcing our commitment to education and transparency.

What is The Structural Snackdown?

Imagine pulling up a chair with key players from Raeco Builders and other experts in related fields – from commercial lending to economic development. Now, imagine doing that while simultaneously taste-testing and ranking a lineup of various snacks. That’s The Structural Snackdown in a nutshell!

Each episode is designed to deliver a dual experience:

  1. Structural Insights

    We dive deep into the world of steel construction, demystifying complex processes and sharing our expertise. Topics range from the nuances of custom steel construction and the precision of our concrete solutions to the comprehensive benefits of our full-service general contracting. We pull back the curtain on our internal operations, discuss effective project management strategies, and explain the critical importance of our AC478 accreditation – a testament to our commitment to quality and safety in metal building assembly.

  2. Snackdown Showdown

    Because serious topics are better digested with a side of fun, every episode features a "Snackdown." Our guests (and sometimes even our hosts!) put a variety of snacks to the test, offering candid reviews and, of course, a definitive ranking. It’s a playful segment that adds a unique flavor to our discussions and keeps things engaging.

Who Should Tune In?

The Structural Snackdown Podcast is crafted for anyone with an interest in the construction industry, particularly those involved in or considering commercial and industrial building projects. Whether you're a business owner planning expansion, an industry professional looking for insights, an investor curious about economic development, or simply someone who appreciates a good snack review, there's something for you.

We bring on a diverse range of guests, not just from within Raeco Builders, but also from the broader ecosystem that supports successful construction. This provides a holistic view of the industry, covering everything from the steel fabrication process to the financial considerations of a major build. Our goal is to empower our listeners with knowledge, offering perspectives that are practical, informative, and always insightful.

So, if you’re looking to understand the structural integrity of your next building project, gain valuable industry insights from seasoned professionals, and enjoy a few laughs over a snack taste test, then The Structural Snackdown Podcast is your go-to resource.
