Bobbitt Construction, Inc. Achieves AC478 Accreditation

The Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association (MBCEA) announces that Bobbitt Construction, Inc. headquartered in Cary, North Carolina and servicing North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia is the first metal building assembler based in North Carolina to obtain the prestigious AC478 accreditation administered by the International Accreditation Service (IAS). AC478, Accreditation for Metal Building Assemblers Inspection, is a standard to recognize metal building assemblers committed to excellence.

Achieving this accreditation demonstrates that Bobbitt has the personnel, the organizational skills, vast experience, knowledge, management procedures, and commitment to assemble 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 accreditation achieved by Bobbit Construction exemplifies their culture, their reputation, in taking the complex process of construction and making it safe, making it easy – even enjoyable – to their clients and partners,” notes MBCEA President Robert Tiffin. “Congratulations to the team, the family at Bobbitt Construction!”

Bobbitt CEO Brian Denisar said, “Pursuing the IAS AC478 accreditation was a natural step for us as we continue to strengthen our safety practices, training, and project execution. The process gave us the opportunity to take a close look at the systems we depend on and ensure they meet a nationally recognized standard. Being the only metal building assembler in North and South Carolina to earn this accreditation highlights our commitment to doing the job right—for our clients, our teams, and the communities we serve.”
