On Thursday, March 16, in partnership with the Minnesota Concrete Council and the Aggregate & Ready Mix Association of Minnesota, Build with Strength will hold a Concrete Value and Innovations Seminar at the Midland Hills Country Club in Roseville. This seminar will take place from 7 a.m. to noon in metropolitan Minneapolis. The Build with Strength Concrete Value and Innovations seminar is a workshop that, through design solutions, focuses on strength rather than disaster response, resulting in investments that are secure and generate long-term value to the owner.

A prime ingredient of sustainable architecture is longevity. If a building doesn’t last, it wastes of a lot of energy, from both a human and a resource perspective, not to mention the economic value. Durability is the ultimate profitability. Builders are realizing that the promise of low first-cost is insufficient for portfolio value generation. From energy efficiency, lower insurance costs and moisture resistance, barriers to a concrete structure steadily collapse when industry professionals are equipped with the right design tools and knowledge.
 
Building materials also play a big role in deciding the safety and resiliency of our structures. From Edgewater, NJ, to Houston to Los Angeles, the increased incidences of apartment fire conflagrations have provided a glimpse of what it looks like when the predicted effects of inferior building materials and code trade-offs work in tandem.
 
Build with Strength is a first-of-its-kind program for the concrete industry, designed not only to support our members, their businesses and the hard-working men and women of the concrete industry, but also to change the way people think about concrete construction versus direct competitors like soft-wood lumber. NRMCA has resources to help members and state affiliates advocate for resilient and safer construction, including model legislation, talking points, public relations and other key strategies.
