Build with Strength Campaign Kicks Off In Kansas City
Needham DBS fully supports the Build with Strength campaign.
The Concrete Promotional Group (CPG) launched Build with Strength (BWS) in the Kansas City market on February 16, 2017 with the help of Michael Wymant, NRMCA, Senior Director Building Innovations. Build with Strength supports the use of concrete in Mid-Rise Construction projects and is focused on reminding developers and owners of the benefits of concrete in building construction. Multiple meetings were hosted and included a CPG members only kickoff, Nooniversity with Architects and Happy Hour with Engineers.
Sadly, just over a month from the local kickoff, a fire takes City Place, a wood framed multi-use development, during construction while destroying over a dozen homes in the surrounding community.

Go Bold. Go Strong. Go Concrete.
