We are concrete strong.
The Colorado Build With Strength’s mission is to educate the building and design communities and policymakers on the benefits of ready mixed concrete, and encourage its use as the building material of choice for low- to mid-rise structures. No other material can replicate concrete’s advantages in terms of strength, durability, safety and ease of use. Learn more about the concrete industry in Colorado!
Free concrete project design and technical assistance is available through the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association’s (NRMCA) Design Center.
The Design Center can assist you in choosing the right concrete solution for a wide variety of projects, from multi-family residential/mixed use to industrial and health care facilities.
NRMCA’s expert team of engineers and architects are available to help you select the most appropriate concrete system, including:
- Concrete frame and post-tension flat plate systems
- Voided slab systems
- Insulating concrete forming (ICF) systems
- Tilt-up concrete wall systems
Get started today by submitting the form on buildwithstrength.com.
The Design Center and NRMCA offer educational opportunities for industry professionals.
Educational opportunities are offered through:
- Professional Education: Courses are offered on the design and construction of high performance concrete buildings. Courses can be tailored to different formats—from all-day seminars, half-day seminars, lunch-and-learns to webinars.
- On-demand Webinars: These are the same highly attended live webinars we offer but in a recorded format so you can take them at your pace, on your schedule. The webinars are free and offer AIA-CES Learning Units for architects and Professional Development Hours (PDH) for engineers.

ConcreteTracker is a collection of concrete building and paving case studies assembled by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. Building owners, developers, architects, engineers and others interested in seeing a concrete building near them can search the map and get information about concrete building or paving projects in their area.
Can’t find a project in your neighborhood? There are literally millions of concrete building and pavement projects all over the U.S. Just because there isn’t a pin on the map doesn’t mean there isn’t one close by. NRMCA’s Concrete Design Center can help you find concrete projects in your area or if you have a concrete project you want to include on the map, contact Lionel Lemay at LLemay@nrmca.org or (847) 922-7995.
