The mission of the Build with Strength​ campaign 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.​​

Pave Ahead​ is an educational campaign and website designed to assist the industry, policy makers, and other stakeholders when making decisions about how to pave with safety, reliability, sustainability, and cost in mind. Paveahead.com also provides a portal to NRMCA’s no-fee “pavement design center.” Stressing logistics and efficiency, the design center employs an “assistance team” to help users develop project pavement designs, select materials, locate contractors, and consult with industry specialists. Additionally, paveahead.com offers a variety of resources, articles, and testimonies relating to concrete, and other ready mix produced products, as roadway/paving construction materials.

Concrete in Practice​​ is an NRMCA series of 44 one-page information sheets with topics including Troubleshooting, Testing, and Best Practices, written in a non-technical “What, Why, and How?” format. These can be purchased through the NRMCA site, download an electronic copy at no cost or contact United Materials for a complementary set of all the CIP’s.

United Materials offers educational seminars on ALL things concrete. Topics include “Concrete 101”, “Parking Lots”, “Building with Insulated Concrete Forms”, “Troubleshooting”, “Roller Compacted Concrete”, and “Stormwater Management with Pervious Concrete”. Professional Development Hours are available upon request. Please call our sales department at (716) 213-5832 to schedule an appointment.
