McGraw-Hill Construction and AGC Launch Online Member Directory
New York – September 9, 2008 – Constructor, the official magazine of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), published by McGraw-Hill Construction, and AGC have created a new online membership directory for owners, contractors, architects, and specialty and service firms to aid searches for AGC member companies online.
Available at agcdirectory.org, the directory’s Find-a-Member search service allows users to locate companies based on specific parameters such as region, type of work, and keyword. Upgraded listings include photo galleries of projects and products and list recent projects completed by AGC members.
“We are excited to offer a new way for AGC members to better connect with their customers and each other, together with our longstanding partner, the AGC,” said Norbert W. Young, Jr., president of McGraw-Hill Construction. “As much as Constructor connects readers to one another to enhance their growth and success, this directory will empower AGC members to interact and connect even more online and increase their companies’ visibility.”
“AGC’s new online membership directory will make it easy for our members to get their company information into the hands of the people that matter—owners, contractors, architects, and specialty and service firms,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, chief executive officer of AGC.
Constructor is a leading association business journal, published six times a year by McGraw-Hill Construction for AGC. It offers readers in-depth information about the business of commercial contracting and the management of projects and companies. Articles explore critical industry trends and issues in areas such as human resources, legalities, safety, training, and new products. Constructor is a key resource that contractors use to achieve business success and keep up with changes in the dynamic commercial construction marketplace.
