Concrete buildings are quiet, durable, energy efficient, safe, and resilient. Is it any wonder why concrete is the worlds most utilized building material?
The worlds most utilized building material: concrete
When designing your next building doesn't it make sense that you "Build With Strength"? Backed by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, Build with Strength is a coalition of architects, builders, engineers, emergency services personnel and policymakers. Our mission is to educate the building and design communities and policy makers on the benefits of ready mixed concrete, and encourage its use as the building material of choice for buildings. No other material can replicate concrete’s advantages in terms of strength, durability, safety and ease of use.
