A trade association for the ready-mixed concrete industry with resources on concrete quality and construction.
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, known as NRMCA, is a trade association for the ready-mixed concrete industry. It offers resources on concrete quality, placement and best practices for the trucks and plants that supply most new slabs. When a new garage floor is poured, what arrives in the truck and how it is finished shape the surface you later coat. Nashville builders and owners can learn from the association site what good concrete practice looks like.
We are an independent garage floor company and are not part of NRMCA. We use its public material as background and send you to the official site. When we inspect a new slab, we check how it was finished, test for moisture and tell you when it needs more time before coating.
