Who We Are

Organization Profile
AGC Georgia is the statewide trade association of choice for commercial construction professionals and the industry at large. Our primary role is simply to help make a stronger construction industry by providing members access to the resources and tools they need to improve their businesses. Our collective voice and clout allow us to advocate for policies and programs that protect the best interest of the construction industry.

AGC Georgia member firms perform a majority of the commercial construction work in Georgia and include more than 640 of the top general contractors, residential/light commercial builders, construction managers, design-builders, municipal-utility contractors, heavy and highway contractors, specialty contractors, service providers, and suppliers.

We are one of 89 chapters of Associated General Contractors of America that represents 26,000+ firms nationwide. AGC Georgia members are automatically enrolled as members of the national association.


AGC of America hosted their annual National & Chapter Leadership Conference in Washington, DC in September 2023. AGC Georgia's senior leadership team accepted the national association's Large Chapter of the Year Award during a gala dinner at the Smithsonian Institute's National Portrait Gallery. This is the most coveted award within the AGC organization and our team is honored to be the recipient three times -- 2007, 2014 and 2022! This is a HUGE team win representing a rewarding partnership between our amazing members throughout Georgia and our passionate, professional staff.
