Member Benefits
Members benefit from their AGC affiliation in many different and meaningful ways regardless of participation level. However, a compelling case is made over and over again by members themselves who agree the more engaged you are, the more activities a member participates in, and the greater number of services used, the greater return (or ROI) you and your company receive. Tangible and intangible member benefits include the following:
- Proven Advocacy and Influence to Create a Positive Environment for Your Company
AGC Georgia maintains a visible and active presence throughout the year with our elected and appointed state officials and policy makers especially during legislative sessions. Member firms count on us staying on top of what is in their firm and industry’s best interest to ensure a strong and influential voice at the state capitol as well as at the national level.
- Strength in Numbers on Industry Issues to Maximize What is in Your Company’s Best Interest
AGC’s powerful voice in the commercial construction industry at both the national and state level has led to improved business conditions for contractors on issues including lien laws, stormwater prevention, and use of sales and tax revenues.

- Marketing and Recognition Opportunities to Help Differentiate Your Company and Win Work
A company’s stature, image and reputation is enhanced with buyers of construction services and products when they see the AGC logo displayed on a jobsite, in a RFQ /RFP response, or company office.

Numerous award programs help to recognize firms and people for outstanding construction and safety excellence.
