Construction Economics

Construction Economics

The construction industry plays a powerful role in sustaining economic growth, in addition to producing structures that add to our productivity and quality of life.

AGC produces a variety of materials and resources for tracking construction economic information to help contractors, owners and the public learn what is happening in regard to construction costs. In 2007, AGC's economic information appeared more than 120 times in print, radio, and television across the country. No other construction association has the depth of knowledge or influence that AGC's economic department has. AGC serves on national panels to identity the role construction plays in the economy, and its representatives have testified before Congress.
