Alabama AGC is an 82-year-old organization of qualified construction contractors and industry-related companies dedicated to skill, integrity and responsibility.  The Association provides broad influence and a full range of services satisfying the needs and concerns of its members, partners and the industry, thereby improving the quality of construction and protecting the public interest.

·         AlabamaAGC’s mission is to protect existing construction markets and develop new construction markets for our members.  AGC rewrote the competitive bid law and guided it through the Alabama Legislature.  AGC recognizes and stops unfair trade practices, and helps our members cut overhead and remain competitive.  We’ve been around to see the long cycles in the industry.  AGC’s history is a testimony to our strength and ability to serve contractors and the industry in a changing environment.

·         The AGC staff has the strength and experience to deal with critical issues including: changing government regulations, an increasingly unpredictable court system, safety, environmental and certain legal issues.  AGC has done the legal work and forms for contractors who need to start a drug testing program.  AlabamaAGC also negotiated a deal for the actual drug testing that is far less expensive for our members than they would find on the open market.  AGC was instrumental in forming the BCIA, which helps introduce minority contractors to the market without unfair trade practices.

·         Section organizations are strategically located in Florence, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Anniston, Montgomery, Dothan and Mobile.  With members in large cities and small communities, no one is more than one hour from an AlabamaAGC meeting.

·         AGC has a powerful voice in state and national politics, stopping or amending legislation that could adversely affect the industry.  AGC has the fifth largest PAC in Alabama.

·         AGC certifies craft training programs statewide, and offers training for field supervisory personnel and management and partnering training for office personnel.  AGC offers a wide variety of publications and communication tools available from our interactive website.

·         CompTrustAGC is a 20-year old well-funded workers’ compensation insurance program for our members.  It is a rock-solid provider with rates that are extremely competitive.  36% of the total premiums have been returned to the membership since 1992.

·         iSqFtAGC is a network of construction offices on the Internet that offers features which bring bidding efficiency and project communication to a new level.  It includes the AlabamaAGC Internet Plan Room offering plans & specs for publicly bid projects on-line for subscribers in the industry.  GCs can also post negotiated work in their “invitation only” private plan rooms.  Of course, there is a significant price advantage for subscribers who are AlabamaAGC members.

·         A major strength of AlabamaAGC is the networking among our diverse membership.  Our 800+ members range from one-man operations to ENR Top 400 companies.  These include commercial, highway, heavy, municipal, utility and specialty firms who work together in the construction community.  Finding it easier for people to do business with people they know, AGC offers our members many opportunities to get to know each other through social, service and business events.

·         AlabamaAGC is cost-effective and efficient.  Only five AGC chapters in the nation have a lower dues structure.  Even so, only 16 percent of AlabamaAGC’s multi-million-dollar budget comes from dues.  We at AGC realize your dues and time are an investment in the construction industry.  We are diligent in our efforts to provide an outstanding return on that investment.
