Our Mission

The Associated General Contractors of America, the voice of the construction industry, is an organization of qualified construction contractors and industry-related companies dedicated to skill, integrity, and responsibility.

​The association 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.

Among the services we offer as an organization include:

• Safety – We have a FT safety director who works with both GCs and subs on jobsites to help with safety issues and training,  He offers regular classes throughout the year and AGC members get a reduced price.
• Advocacy – We represent the collective voice of the commercial construction industry in places such as the Austin City Council, school districts, state legislature and other public  entities.
• Networking – We regularly offer networking/social events to help companies meet and establish business relationships.
• Education – We offer classes to educate the local industry, whether in safety, project management or other aspects of construction.
• Building Information – We produce a biweekly information Bulletin of local projects up for bid in the local area.
• Insurance – We offer Workers Comp, and 401(k) Plan for contractors through our outside partners who provide those services.
