AGC Dallas

Providing Information About the AGC in Dallas, Texas, From General Contractor Bob Moore Construction

On October 24, 2008 QUOIN, the North / East Texas Chapter of the AGC, merged with the Associated Builders and Contractors of North Texas (ABC), to form a single organization. This organization is currently named ABC / AGC Alliance, although a new name is in the works.

The merger is a continuation of the evolution both organizations have experienced over the past several years. Originally the AGC served general contractors primarily, while ABC focused on sub- and specialty contractors. Since 1995 the memberships of both groups have expanded to include GCs and subs alike, blurring the distinction between the two organizations.

With the merger, the ABC / AGC Alliance will speak as a unified voice for the entire constuction industry in Dallas, and leverage the greater operating efficiencies of a consolidated headquarters staff and location.

QUOIN and ABC of North Texas are now in a transition period as they consolidate their resources and create the single merged group. Ultimately this will create a powerful lobbying and advocacy group for the Dallas construction industry with more than 1,900 members.

In support of this effort, AGCDallas.com was created by AGC member Bob Moore Construction to provide some historical perspective on the history of construction advocacy and leadership in Dallas, tracing the story of the AGC and the Dallas chapter of AGC from its origins in 1924 to its 2001 merger with Fort Worth AGC into a single chapter named QUOIN, and to 2008 and the consolidation with ABC.
