History and
Background The Metal Buildings Institute was created in 2000 by the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association to serve as the industry's information and education resource for contractors and erectors. This certification program was assigned to the Institute as its first formal activity. This program represents a continual enhancement of the Certification Program created in 1996. The original components of the program remain in place, but with significantly increased criteria for fulfilling those components. As part of the enhancement plan, the Metal Buildings Institute will seek to educate the industry and its influencers regarding the importance of certification as a quality standard in the construction of metal buildings. Metal Buildings Institute Contractor Certification provides a benefit to the public by helping to identify contractors who provide quality workmanship and maintain a high level of integrity. The Certification Program also permits contractors who have maintained a reputation for quality performance, to hold themselves out to the public as having the qualifications of a contractor specialist in the metal buildings industry. The Institute is an independent, non-profit organization. Its founder, the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association, is a trade association created in 1968 to provide programs and services to the contractor segment of the metal building systems industry. The association proudly boasts membership from virtually every aspect of the systems building industry. As founder of the Institute, the Metal Building Contractors and Erectors Association can better provide information and educational resources to its members, and serve the industry through consumer and industry awareness programs. |
