I moved to Nashville from Wisconsin in 1986, and for over 30 years I have provided various specialty concrete services in the Nashville market and surrounding area. I come from a lineage of ambitious concrete contractors.

 

My grandfather, Arthur Westerlund, immigrated to the United States from Sweden in the late 1800’s and promptly moved to the similarly cold and harsh environment of Duluth Minnesota. Sifting through glacial deposits on the land he acquired, he worked hard and established a successful sand/gravel company.

 

My father Robert Westerlund had humble beginnings as a mason contractor building walls and tinkering with concrete pumps with his brother, my uncle Herb. Together they began building their own concrete pumps, and eventually started a company called Construction Forms. My father and uncle each hold several patents in the concrete pumping manufacturing industry, and today Construction Forms Inc. is a leading manufacturer of concrete pumping systems.
