Build with Strength is a coalition of architects, builders, engineers, community organizations, emergency services personnel and policymakers supported by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA). Their 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.
