Number 11 Comes Joins CHBC

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has joined the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) Concrete Home Building Council (CHBC) as an association member. Including PCA, the CHBC association membership increases to 11 national trade associations that act as NAHB's resource for cement-based building systems and products. In addition to national association memberships, manufacturers, contributing industry partners, and consulting company categories are also available in the CHBC.

"I believe having a strong international organization like ACI, with interests in all of the cement-based systems and products represented by the CHBC membership, will strengthen our technical and education offerings to NAHB's builder and associate membership," explained Michael H. Weber, Portalnd Cement Association's director of residential and CHBC's current president.

Founded in 1904 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, the American Concrete Institute is advancing concrete knowledge by conducting seminars, managing certification programs, and publishing technical documents. ACI currently has 98 chapters and about 15,000 members spanning 108 countries.

In 2004, NAHB formed the CHBC providing a cement-based building material resource for their residential, multifamily, and light commercial construction industries. The CHBC offers a variety of networking, technical, marketing, and educational resources to companies in - or interested in- the residential concrete construction industry.
