Advanced Concrete Screeds

Superior Concrete Floor Finishing

Lawrence Steele, Owner

A truly great product never fades from the market's radar, even long after its creators have moved on. Bold entrepreneurs, captivated by its potential, envision new horizons where the product can thrive. They see opportunities beyond the original purpose, daring to grow it into untapped markets and reimagine the future impact. For Lawrence Steele, an entrepreneur, his concrete moment came when he saw the hidden potential in some concrete screeding tools crafted over two decades ago by a seasoned concrete expert. Inspired by their quality and durability, he founded Advanced Concrete Screeds to build on that legacy and bring the tools into a new era. Today, the company specializes in manufacturing exceptional concrete screeding tools that help contractors achieve high-quality, flat and durable floors. The products are made available through a curated dealer network catering to concrete contractors serving residential, commercial and municipal customers. Advanced Concrete Screeds upholds its commitments not through words but proactive actions that foster trust and build lasting relationships with their dealers and concrete contractors. “Our products are designed to deliver consistent and extremely high performance. They are reliable, durable, and require very little maintenance.” Advanced Concrete Screeds has crafted specialized equilateral triangle screed bars that help eliminate high spots. Built for rigidity and longevity, these bars ensure excellent floor flatness (Ff) and floor levelness (Fl), setting the stage for a premium concrete finish. “If the concrete is flat and well consolidated in the screeding process, all of the following processes are a bit easier and the likelihood of a strong flat floor is significantly improved.” says Steele.

EDITORIAL

Blending Aesthetics and Functionality in Construction

The demand for innovative outdoor spaces that seamlessly extend the function and beauty of homes and businesses, transforming ordinary environments into extraordinary works of functional art, is growing at a rapid pace. With the latest advancements in concrete tools and masonry equipment, industry experts are reshaping the way they approach design and execution. The global market for concrete construction materials is set to grow from $25.45 billion in 2024 to $45.44 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 10.15 percent during the forecast period. Many groundbreaking concrete tools, like high-performance concrete mixers, have made their mark in recent years, improving the efficiency and quality of projects while reducing manual labor. The introduction of self-compacting concrete has made the process of filling complex structures easier than ever. Materials flow smoothly into molds without requiring extensive vibration, resulting in a stronger final product. This comes in handy in outdoor applications, like the construction of retaining walls, driveways and patio surfaces, where durability is key. Traditional masonry methods are being enhanced by modern tools that improve speed and quality. New diamond-tipped saws, automated bricklayers and sophisticated mortar mixers allow for faster and more consistent masonry work, driving improved efficiency for large-scale commercial projects. Masonry experts are also incorporating eco-friendly practices like using recycled materials in construction and opting for low-emission equipment, aligning with the industry trend to minimize environmental footprint. In this edition of Construction Business Review, we explore the recent developments in the construction space and how urban planners are using advanced concrete and masonry construction equipment to create visually engaging spaces. We feature insights from industry experts like Tadas Ciuckys, director of engineering at Doka USA, who addresses the challenges in concrete pumping and the significance of strategic management in constructing remarkable structures. We also feature Kevin Keen, Project Developer at Stellar, who believes that BIM technology can improve overall project collaboration and communication among architecture, engineering and construction professionals. We hope this edition of Construction Business Review helps you find the right partner for your business requirements.
