Carolinas Concrete Parking Lots

What is the CRMCA Concrete Contractor Partnering Program?

The partnering program has been designed as a way for concrete contractors and producers to work together to ensure the highest-quality concrete parking lots and other concrete paving available. It is beneficial to designers, general contractors and construction managers because they know they are working with concrete contractors who understand what it takes to provide the highest-quality product to their clients.

Potential partners (concrete contractors) send their employees to training seminars and certification courses such as the CRMCA Concrete Parking Lot Promotion Training Seminar, ACI Flatwork Finisher and/or NRMCA Pervious Concrete Contractor certifications. This helps to ensure that our partners are versed in the latest technology and proper means and methods of placing, finishing and curing concrete. Once the potential partners meet the program certification requirements, they can complete the application to be considered for partnership with the ready mixed concrete industry. Partners can take their level of participation to the next step by joining the CRMCA. This offers even more benefits to the Partner and their employees.

To become a Partner, your company must meet certain criteria. These criteria include meeting certain minimum quantities of certified individuals for conventional concrete, pervious concrete or both.
