Artificial Intelligence in the Concrete Construction Industry: A Practical Briefing Introduction
Craig Yeack, Co-Founder at BCMI Corp & Rich Szecsy, PhD, PE, FACI, CEO at Big Town Concrete
Tuesday, January 20, 2026
At the 2026 World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Rich Szecsy, PhD, CEO of Big Town Concrete in Dallas, Texas, and Craig Yeack presented “Current & Future Impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Contractors, Ready-Mix Producers, & Design Professions” (aka, AI for RMX).
The discussion did not end when the session concluded. For the next two days, producers lined up with questions. Of the 43 individuals who approached me, none were overtly opposed to AI. Most, however, expressed concern, perhaps even fear, about their future and their company’s future in the shadow of AI.
