The Associated General Contractors of America was founded in 1918. It is a national nonprofit trade association representing more than 33,000 firms, including 7,500 of America’s leading general contracting companies.
The Waco Chapter of AGC was founded in 1946. In 1978, the name was changed to the Central Texas Chapter to better reflect service to Bell, Bosque, Coryell, Falls, Hamilton, Hill, Limestone, and McLennan counties. The Central Texas AGC office remains located in Waco, TX.
When you become a member of Central Texas AGC, you also gain membership to the AGC Texas Building Branch, which works on our behalf at the state capital, and AGC of America, our national chapter that provides a wealth of member benefits (be sure to create your login on their website!) You also gain access to the Texas Construction Careers Website, where you can find workers and post job openings.
AGC - Texas Building Branch
Located in Austin, the Texas Building Branch serves as a support office for all AGC building chapters across the state. It belongs to all members and functions as their office in Austin. The Building Branch maintains constant contact with state agencies that impact the construction industry, including regulatory agencies, awarding authorities, and executive offices. It also ensures that AGC has input on Attorney General opinions affecting the construction industry before they are issued.
The Texas Building Branch publishes a complete bonds and liens manual, which includes sections on private work, public work, and federal work. It distributes information to chapters and contractors about legislation that affects their business. The Branch coordinates support or opposition to bills and has sponsored legislation important to contractors—such as laws related to interest on retainage for public works, revisions to public and private lien laws, prompt pay, sovereign immunity, cost of goods sold, and the statute of limitations that limits contractor and subcontractor liability on completed projects.
