Public Perception of Concrete
TCA is collecting insight from professionals and communities across Tennessee to better understand how people view concrete, what they expect from it, and how they see its future role in the built environment. This effort helps us tell a clearer story about concrete based on real-world experience and informed perspectives.
The information we gather will help us understand how concrete is viewed across Tennessee today — what is performing well, where perceptions currently stand, and how confident people are about its future. Whether your perspective comes from design, construction, infrastructure, development, or residential experience, your feedback adds important context.
Each survey looks at a few key areas, including:
-
Overall perception
-
Performance & durability
-
Design/function flexibility
-
Sustainability outlook
-
Future confidence
