Public Perception of Concrete
TCA is gathering insights from professionals and communities across Tennessee to better understand perceptions, performance expectations, and the future role of concrete in our built environment. This effort will help us better tell the story of concrete — grounded in real experiences, informed perspectives, and the voices of those who use it every day.
The data we collect will be used to better understand how people across Tennessee view concrete today — what’s working, where perceptions stand, and how confident people feel about its future. Whether your perspective comes from design, construction, infrastructure, development, or everyday residential experience, your feedback helps paint the full picture.
Each survey looks at a few key areas, including:
-
Overall perception
-
Performance & durability
-
Design/function flexibility
-
Sustainability outlook
-
Future confidence
