Alleyton Resource: products, footprint, and EPD coverage
Houston’s Alleyton Resource blends aggregates and ready-mix under one roof. The portfolio is broad, the plant map is dense, and the EPD picture is promising yet uneven. Here’s what spec‑driven teams should know before the next bid cycle.
Company snapshot
Alleyton Resource is an aggregates and ready‑mix concrete producer serving the greater Houston area. The company reports 14 sand and gravel sites, a stabilized sand plant, and 12 ready‑mix locations, and has been part of Summit Materials since 2014 (Alleyton Resource, 2025).

What they sell
Alleyton’s core lines are construction aggregates and ready‑mix concrete, plus stabilized sand, slurry and concrete pumping through Allied Concrete. That lets project teams source rock‑to‑pour with one supplier, a bit like ordering both pizza and the oven mitts from the same cart.
How broad is the SKU universe
Aggregates typically come in many gradations and DOT specs, so count offerings in the dozens. Ready‑mix portfolios at metro scale often run to hundreds of mix designs once strengths, slumps, SCM blends, fibers and admixtures are considered. It is reasonable to assume a similar order of magnitude here given 12 ready‑mix sites and a centralized dispatch that develops specialized mixes.
EPD coverage today
NRMCA’s registry includes a plant‑specific EPD for Allied Concrete that covers eight Texas plants, providing verified, LEED‑relevant transparency for a significant slice of Alleyton’s ready‑mix output (NRMCA, 2025). NRMCA’s participant directory also lists multiple Alleyton Resource plants across the Houston metro, a signal of active engagement with EPD and benchmarking workflows (NRMCA Directory, 2025).
Where EPDs still appear thin
We did not find published EPDs for Alleyton’s aggregates as of December 24, 2025 after checking major operator registries. The aggregates PCR is now overseen by NSSGA, which has been building program infrastructure and encouraging producers to publish under the updated rule set, so momentum is there for those ready to move first (NSSGA, 2025). If aggregate SKUs remain without EPDs, project teams may default to generic database values that can penalize specs.
Why this gap matters commercially
Owners and GCs increasingly expect product‑specific EPDs so they can model embodied carbon without guesswork. Some public owners already require them. For example, Caltrans requires EPDs for concrete projects over 250 cubic yards and for asphalt over 2,250 tons, setting a bar many private projects mirror in RFP language (CalCIMA, 2025). When a spec calls for EPDs, a product without one becomes the harder story to defend on submittals.
Who they’re up against on specs
In ready‑mix, Cemex lists numerous Houston‑area plants in NRMCA’s directory, which signals broad EPD availability in the same market footprint (NRMCA Directory, 2025). Heidelberg Materials’ South Texas Concrete business also publishes concrete EPDs across its network, adding another familiar name that can meet EPD‑driven submittal requirements (Heidelberg Materials, 2025). On aggregates, large nationals like Vulcan and Martin Marietta often lead RFP shortlists in Texas. Even where their local EPD presence varies, brand familiarity plus published transparency in other regions can sway multi‑market owners.
A fast path to full coverage
Alleyton’s ready‑mix EPDs create a strong baseline. Closing the remaining gaps can be straightforward with the right playbook.
- Extend plant‑average concrete EPDs to any unmapped Houston sites, then layer product‑specific EPDs for high‑volume mixes used on healthcare, education and industrial work.
- Stand up aggregate EPDs starting with concrete sand and common coarse sizes like 57 stone, then expand to stabilized sand and select specialty blends as data collection matures.
- Pick PCRs and program operators that match competitor norms so buyers can compare like with like in seconds. Smooth data collection across plants is the make‑or‑break here. Dont let spreadsheets slow the cycle.
What this means for the next bid cycle
Alleyton looks like a diversified Houston supplier with credible ready‑mix transparency already in market. Add aggregate EPDs and round out the remaining concrete plants and the spec story gets simpler, faster and more repeatable across owner types. In a LEED v5 world that rewards clarity, the teams that remove the uncertainty win more often.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Alleyton Resource currently publish ready-mix EPDs and how broad is the coverage by plant?
Yes. NRMCA lists an Allied Concrete plant‑specific EPD covering eight Texas plants, which captures a large share of Houston‑area production (NRMCA, 2025).
Are Alleyton’s aggregate products covered by EPDs today?
We did not locate published aggregate EPDs for Alleyton as of December 24, 2025. NSSGA now operates the aggregates PCR, creating a clear path for producers to publish going forward (NSSGA, 2025).
Which competitors in Houston commonly present EPDs in submittals?
Cemex shows numerous Houston plants in NRMCA’s directory and Heidelberg Materials publishes concrete EPDs across its network, including South Texas Concrete (NRMCA Directory, 2025)(Heidelberg Materials, 2025).
Why push aggregate EPDs if many specs focus on concrete?
Aggregates often carry the largest mass in concrete mixes. Publishing aggregate EPDs unlocks more precise mix‑level modeling and helps avoid conservative default factors that can disadvantage bids, especially on LEED‑aligned projects (CalCIMA, 2025).
