In 1926, Concrete Publications Limited added a new title to the long-running Concrete & Construction Engineering and the new Concrete Yearbook, and - with evident satisfaction - its managing editor announced the launch of Concrete for the Builder & Building Products: "As the leading publishers for the concrete industry, we have frequently been asked to supply a journal specially devoted to concrete products and the smaller type of concrete building, and we feel that with the extraordinary growth of the industry the time has now arrived when we are justified in complying with this generally expressed wish. "Concrete for the Builder and Building Products will essentially be a journal for the practical man... we have arranged with many specialists to act as contributors, and we have also made arrangements for our subscribers' problems to be solved free of charge by experts in all branches of concrete construction and the manufacture of concrete products. Our desire is to assist the industry to take full advantage of the possibilities there are in front of it. There is a vast scope for increased output and in this advance we hope to be of some assistance in making known the latest ideas for improving quality, lowering costs, and finding markets."
