For Trades
Your best work should last forever. Concrete buildings, roads, and other infrastructure projects perform exceptionally well for the long term. They require little maintenance and they can meet a designer’s highest expectations. New innovations in concrete production are providing architects, designers, and developers with greater flexibility in their projects and budgets.
Concrete thoughts:
-
As an environmentally friendly product, concrete is a key component in the pursuit of LEED certification. Concrete adds 20 points in the certification process.
-
Concrete is highly fire resistant.
-
Advanced lifecycle assessment tools help architects, designers, and developers plan projects accurately and with a keen understanding of the total cost of ownership.
-
For developers, pervious (porous) concrete can be used for sidewalks and parking surfaces to recharge groundwater, thereby eliminating the need for expensive retention ponds.
-
The concrete industry works closely with government to improve environmental standards in the industry.

Concrete withstands natural disasters and extreme weather events better than any other building material.
