Whether it is educational, political, informational or just collegial, AGC works to keep its membership – and the industry as a whole – up to date on the important issues of the day.

AGC-Texas Building Branch
AGC-Texas Building Branch was initially created in 1967 as a satellite office of the Houston Chapter to stay abreast of the legislative issues that might impact the commercial construction industry. In 1974, TBB was incorporated to serve as the legislative office for all AGC building chapters in the State of Texas.
Former Texas House Member Corbin Van Arsdale serves as the President and General Counsel for the organization. Under his leadership, the TBB team, along with representatives from all state AGC building chapters, work to monitor and advance the issues that are critical to the success of the commercial construction industry and its companies.
AGC of America
AGC of America membership can be obtained by joining a local Chapter AGC.
Located in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area, The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) is the leading association for the construction industry. 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 public interest.
AGC was established in 1918 after a request by President Woodrow Wilson. Wilson recognized the construction industry’s national importance and desired a partner with which the government could discuss and plan for the advancement of the nation. AGC has been fulfilling that mission for more than 100 years.
A full service national trade association with a nationwide network of exceptional chapters, AGC represents more than 33,000 leading firms in the industry – including general contractors, specialty contractors, service providers and suppliers. AGC members play a powerful role in sustaining economic growth, in addition to producing structures that add to productivity and the nation’s quality of life. AGC is truly the “voice and choice” of the construction industry.
