Concrete 101


Industry in Alberta is renowned for cutting-edge sustainability practices. As such, it only makes sense that we build Alberta with the most sustainable building material - concrete.


The resilience and longevity of concrete provides the following advantages. 


  • Building shells are left in place during renovations 
  • Components are reused, concrete is 100% recyclable 
  • The added strength of concrete allows for design flexibility and increased life spans 
  • The increased life cycle of concrete buildings and structures conserves resources and reduces the need for costly rebuilds 
  • Concrete buildings use less material and create less waste over their lives 


Designed For Quality Made To Last
