When contractors evaluate a metal building manufacturer, price and lead time usually get the most attention.
But another factor often affects projects later: independent verification of engineering and fabrication processes.

• permitting
• special inspections
• documentation reviews
• project risk management
It’s one of the reasons many builders ask about AC 472 when evaluating manufacturers.
