RAYWEST DESIGNBUILD has proven to be a top retail contractor in the nation, acquiring a Retail Contractors Association membership earlier this year.
RCA is a national organization that was founded in 1990. Its members are “high-caliber retail contractors united to provide a solid foundation of ethics, quality and professionalism within the retail construction industry,” a press release said.
The lofty membership isn’t awarded to everyone. The organization’s board of directors rigorously vets applicants with strict criteria for membership.
In order to be a member company, a company must: be a general contractor with significant business operations in retail construction; have an excellent reputation in the industry including references; have been a general contractor for at least five years; and be properly licensed in all states where it conducts business. Other factors that the board reviews are safety records, bond-ability, and appropriate insurance coverage.
“RCA demonstrates its quality by promoting excellence and ethical practices in the industry, establishing industry standards, fostering collaboration between retailers, developers and contractors, and exchanging ideas and industry trends,” the press release said.
