The construction industry plays a powerful role in sustaining economic growth, in addition to producing structures that add to productivity and quality of life. The industry provides good-paying jobs for 7.6 million people. Construction also makes a large contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), totaling $1.2 trillion or 9% of GDP in 2006. The building construction market is responsible for a major portion of this economic growth and stability.

Through AGC of America and the Building Division, the interests of building contractors are protected through legislative and regulatory advocacy. Educational opportunities are offered through Building Division meetings, the AGC Convention, online learning, and audio conferences. Up-to-date information is available about construction economics and construction marketing. New consensus contract documents have recently been released. Key issues such as project delivery, Building Information Modeling (BIM), safety, and others are frequently topics of discussion and action.
