AGC represents all facets of commercial construction for both public and private entities including building, heavy, highway and municipal projects. Members are responsible for building the things we rely on every day, from highways and water infrastructure to flood control and the nation’s most prized monuments and buildings.
Operating in partnership with its nationwide network of Chapters, AGC provides a full range of services satisfying the needs and concerns of its members, thereby improving the quality of construction and protecting the public interest.
AGC works diligently to advance the industry and improve contractors’ day-to-day operability by representing contractors’ policy agenda on Capitol Hill and within the federal agencies. The association’s chief economist is the industry’s leading construction economic expert, offering analysis and outlook on the latest industry data.
AGC members place an emphasis on quality, evidenced through immense interest in education and growth. Work force development is a top priority for AGC and its members, who encourage and support programs to help existing workers advance their careers and young people learn the value of a career in the construction profession.
Innovation is the key to AGC’s dynamic educational offerings, which include safety training, green building, supervisory training, estimating academies, and a vast array of online courses and audio conferences on the latest industry issues. AGC recently began development of a Building Information Modeling (BIM) curriculum to be administered at its 96 Chapters nationwide. BIM is a technology that provides all parties involved on a project with shared, up-to-date project data. With BIM, construction can move quickly into the 21st century and beyond. AGC is also a proud member of ConsensusDOCS, an industry-wide collaboration of 22 leading construction associations, dedicated to publishing best practice contracts that allocate risk fairly among all parties.
