The only problem in your script was the fact that you tried to check if the Material was equal to a String. Material is used as an Enum, which is basically another data type. To fix your code, all you have to do is change line 6 to:

if v.Material == Enum.Material.Concrete then

So now your entire script should look like this:

function a()
    local all = game.Workspace.Model:GetChildren()
    for i,v in pairs(all) do
        if v.ClassName == 'Part' then
            print('ClassName is part')
            if v.Material == Enum.Material.Concrete then
                v.Parent = game.Workspace.concrete
                print('worked')
            end
        end
    end
end
wait(3)
a()

Anyways, I hope I helped. If you have any further problems/questions, leave a comment below, and I'll see what I can do.
