Family owned since 1978

In the summer of 1978, Steve Lambert opened Bradley Concrete in Cleveland, Tennessee, with one idea: haul concrete from Chattanooga to Knoxville. Nearly fifty years later, his family is still doing exactly that.

Steve's sons, Kirk and Adam, grew up around the business and joined him after college. Together they built a five-truck local operation into a regional one, with more than a hundred trucks across five plants. Now a third generation is in it too. Same family, same standard: high-quality service, high-quality concrete.

Big enough to serve you, small enough to know you.

This isn't a slogan we wrote for a website. It's how the Lamberts have run the business the whole time. Big enough to handle the airport runway or the campus job, small enough that you still reach someone who knows your name.

The people behind the concrete

For nearly fifty years, the Lambert family has mixed and delivered concrete across East Tennessee. What began as Bradley Concrete in 1978 became Lambcon, and it is still family-owned and operated today, with the third generation now working in the business.

That is the idea behind a line the family has used from the start: big enough to serve you, small enough to know you. Big enough to handle the largest commercial pours in the region, small enough that you are still dealing with the people who built the company.
