NRMCA Senior Director, Building Innovations, Brandon Wray recently joined forces with California Nevada Cement Association’s (CNCA) Technical Director Nathan Forrest (seen here, standing) in supporting one of California’s largest industrial and commercial developers, Buzz Oates. The developer is prominent in the management and construction services space with a 27 million square foot portfolio valued over $4 billion.
"Buzz Oates is unique in its direct, self-serviced construction arm that pushes for innovation and quality, as its goal is to hold its properties," Wray said. "This fundamental initiative yields a desire to build with quality, resilient and sustainable materials and practices, areas where concrete shines."
Presentations included ACI 323’s low carbon concrete code, California’s CALGreen code and the ultimate process of leveraging performance specifications to achieve cost efficiency while procuring lower carbon concrete. From these and past efforts, Build With Strength has consulted on Buzz Oates facilities in Sacramento and the Central Valley, with a management team interested in further utilizing NRMCA resources to streamline sustainability processes on more projects.
