Bradley Concrete & Lambcon Ready-Mix
The last name Lambert has become synonymous with Ready-Mix concrete across East Tennessee. “From the time I began, I always had the vision of hauling concrete from Chattanooga to Knoxville,” recalls Steve Lambert.
In the summer of 1978, Steve opened Bradley Concrete in Cleveland, Tennessee, the first of five locations for the Lamberts. As the business grew locally, so did the interest of his two sons, Kirk and Adam. As both graduated from college and began their careers, it was always with the family’s best interest in mind. The three together quickly grew the business from Bradley Concrete to include Lambcon Ready-Mix, fulfilling the dream of “hauling concrete from Chattanooga to Knoxville” with locations serving Chattanooga, Cleveland, Athens, Lenoir City, and Knoxville. Over 50 years of continuous service have seen the business grow from a 5-truck local operation to an over 100 truck regional operation. The Lamberts still have the same goal and mentality: “High quality service, high quality concrete.”
When taking on projects, the Lamberts and their team abide by the saying, “No job too big, no job too small.”
“As a business we look to service all customers,” they explain. “We want to provide the homeowner or residential contractor with the same high-quality product and service we would a commercial contractor developing a 500,000-square-foot distribution center for Amazon.”
In addition to serving customers big and small, Bradley Concrete and Lambcon Ready-Mix prioritize providing the best product, service, and value. They use industry-leading materials and a computerized dry batch method to ensure their ready-mix concrete is of the highest quality possible. “From our materials to the trucks we send down the road, we want to achieve excellence with our concrete,” they share.
Bradley Concrete and Lambcon-Ready Mix have been trusted with projects for many major companies, including Amazon, FedEx, Coca-Cola, Costco Wholesale, Kroger, Publix, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Target, the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT), and Walmart. Recent projects have included adding a 1.5 million-square-foot Amazon distribution center and assisting with expansion at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. In addition to commercial work, Bradley Concrete and Lambcon Ready-Mix also take on residential projects across their service region.
Being a locally owned and operated, family-run enterprise gives Bradley Concrete and Lambcon Ready-Mix a personal touch that resonates with both customers and the Lamberts alike as new generations join the legacy. “We are proud to serve a community that we are so deeply connected to. All of us have grown up in East Tennessee, and it is an awesome feeling to help build and maintain a part of the state we love,” finishes Jax Lambert, Kirk’s son.
