/ 01 Our Story
Premium
/ˈprē-mē-əm/ · adjective
of exceptional quality or performance; superior to the standard.
We took the name in 1987, as a small crew pouring residential foundations in Schaumburg, Illinois. It set a bar we've had to clear every day since. You don't get to call your work premium. The work has to prove it: on the pour, on the schedule, on the slab that's still flat and true years later.
What holds it together is the crew. We hire good people, train them, take care of them, and keep them. Most of our crew measures their time here in years, not jobs. That's not a perk we offer; it's the whole plan. The same hands holding the same standard, season after season, is the only reason the name still means something.

/ 03 Core Values
Our core values,
poured deep.
Trust
Our handshake is our commitment.
Trust is the foundation everything else is poured on. When we say we will do something, it is already done — that is how we have kept clients for nearly four decades.
Professionalism
Responsibility, integrity, accountability.
Every person on every crew represents Premium Concrete on the jobsite. We carry ourselves with discipline, communicate clearly, and own our work from start to finish.
Loyalty
Take care of the team, and it takes care of you.
Our people are not interchangeable. We invest in our team, develop our foremen from the field up, and reward the loyalty that built this company.
Resilience
Don't Ever Give Up.
Concrete construction is hard. Weather, schedules, and conditions push back. Our motto isn't a slogan — it is how we approach every problem until it is solved.
Teamwork
The Premium Family.
We operate like a family. Crews look out for each other, foremen mentor laborers, and leadership shows up on jobsites — when you are part of Premium, you belong to something.
