"Metal building contractors that join MBCEA set themselves apart for the competition.  Those who achieve IAS AC478 accreditation set themselves further apart by committing to an unparalleled level of safety and quality", notes Jennifer Heimburger, MBCEA president while acknowledging the company's achievement.  "We congratulate the team at Bob Breeding General Contractors on this significant achievement and recognize them not only as a leader in their geographic area but in the industry overall."

When he first heard about AC478 several years ago, Chris Breeding, President and Owner of Bob Breeding General Contractors, quickly realized that this was the wave of the future for the pre-engineered metal building industry. "It was easy to see the writing on the wall, based on the level of effort from the MBCEA to promote AC478, that we had better embrace this new accreditation program if we wanted to excel in this industry moving forward," said Breeding.  "While we initially thought this was just another burdensome task to complete, we began to realize that many of the problems we faced in our company's day-to-day operations would actually be addressed when we implemented the changes that AC478 would require. Now, after having gone through the process, I'm looking forward to being a leader in quality, safety, and planning in the metal building industry.  I'm also excited about the direction we are going as I think about the next generation that I will be leaving the company to one day."
