CDI: Setting the Standard for the Ornamental Precast Concrete Industry
Concrete Designs Inc. Known for its high-quality products and commitment to customer service, CDI is also characterized by versatility. The company originally drew on Spanish Colonial architecture for design inspiration, but rapidly expanded its vision and its product line to include all types of architecture. CDI precast colum

nsAlong with a product selection of over 2,500 different shapes to complement a wide array of architectural styles, CDI offers its clients virtually unlimited capacity to create custom designs in many colors and a variety of textures. To this end, the company employs an experienced team of product consultants, concrete specialists, craftsmen, and technical support personnel who are dedicated to meeting the challenges inherent in a hand-made approach, from concept to finished product. In addition to producing products in concrete, CDI manufactures shapes in glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) for use when weight is a consideration or when a smooth, even finish is desired. CDI, located in Tucson, Arizona, has specialized in the design and manufacture of architectural ornamentation since 1958. The company operates in a 44,000 square-foot manufacturing facility built in 1990 which includes two state-of-the art concrete batching systems. CDI's reputation for diversity in design, durability of products, reliable service, and competitive pricing has made this company the choice of professionals in the design and building industries worldwide. We welcome anyone who is interested in products that set the standard to visit our facility for a firsthand look at what we can do for you. Our headquarters building and showroom display many of our products. If such a visit is impractical, a tour through our catalog and website will give you an overview and may suggest new design possibilities for your projects. Custom Designs
To allow maximum flexibility for any project, CDI welcomes custom designs, offering the experience and expertise to advise on and produce exceptional products from our clients’ creativity. Lead times for custom work vary according to the scope and complexity of the project. To expedite projects that specify custom shapes, we recommend that clients involve CDI as early as possible in the design process and remain flexible regarding the final design and the time schedule necessary to complete it. Because of the expertise required to produce custom designs, CDI retains ownership of all patterns and molds.

Our industry relies on CAD to communicate how something should be built and then we use CNC to make sure that it's accurate to the design. It's a quick and cost-effective method. The method of line drawings and hand sculpting is neither quick nor cost-effective, but the results can be spectacular. Here is a small mock-up of a larger project.

CNC machining has become the staple of pattern building for CDI and many other precast companies. The speed, accuracy and reduced costs are hard to argue with. Occasionally someone requests an 18" tall pineapple finial that must match previous versions. For that to be successful for us we fall back to the hand sculpting that built this industry.

We have a project that required a decorative shield. The pattern was created by CNC and then the mold was poured with rubber. A lot of attention to detail but it turned out pretty well. Have a great weekend!

Stopped by the see how these planters were doing in downtown Phoenix. Each planter weighs several tons, has 100 sqft of planting space and is ten feet above the ground. Seeing something on plans become reality is humbling.

Trying to match custom colors and aggregates in precast or cast stone can be very tedious and expensive. Every now and then it pays off with a great experience like getting to make a trip to the marble quarry.

We rarely take the time to go and see a project when it's completed unless there is a problem of some kind. We had the chance to stop in on this project as it was almost complete and take a few pictures. Pool copings, wall caps and pier bases.
