Why Hire Our Experts |
|
Training The contractors and workers who have developed this Web site - the Architectural Metal Expertise team - pride themselves on their dedication to training. Our industry's formal apprenticeship program features four to five years of "on-the-job" learning by the apprentice, as well as hundreds of hours of classroom time. This includes specific training in all aspects of architectural sheet metal, as well as extensive safety training. Our commitment includes more than $50 million invested each year on training across the nation. Applicants must meet certain requirements before they are accepted as apprentices. To advance, apprentices must demonstrate specific knowledge, skills, and abilities.Standards Standards are important in every industry. Here's the key: When you hire an Architectural Metal Expertise contractor, you're getting a company and workers who live by the industry's standards.
The standards that are commonly accepted in any architectural work involving metal come from the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA).
SMACNA has three manuals pertaining to architectural sheet metal - Architectural Sheet Metal Manual, the accepted industry standard for architectural sheet metal work today;
Residential Sheet Metal Guidelines, a resource for exterior sheet metal work in residential buildings; and Standard Practice in Sheet Metal Work, the original SMACNA
Architectural Sheet Metal Manual, which is used often in architectural sheet metal restoration work. We write them. |
