Join your industry colleagues from around Texas July 28-31 at Lake Tahoe for the 38th annual AGC Texas Building Branch (TBB) Convention.

This is a great opportunity to network with 

commercial contractors from around Texas and hear from Texas leaders including local state representatives John Cyrier and Paul Workman about the recent legislative session.  Other educational sessions will focus on statewide safety efforts, recent legal cases impacting construction, and the safety and outstanding construction awards.  

The TBB serves as the commercial construction industry's voice before the Texas state legislature and agencies impacting the industry.Photos from previous state conventions are available here.  

For more information about the convention, contact Phil Thoden.

In June the Austin City Council opted to extend through September the current, temporary rules governing concrete pour activity in downtown.   

AGC staff, member companies and industry allies have been meeting with City Council members and staff to educate them about the impacts of concrete pour restrictions on both industry and the 125,00+ people who come downtown to work and play each day.  

AGC is concerned that the City Council may opt to set unrealistic noise levels for concrete pours such as 75 decibels after 7pm and 65 decibels after 10:30pm.  Meanwhile, a variety of routine noises downtown far exceed those levels.  Some of these noises (such as trains, music and motorcycles) even exceed 85 decibels as noted in a video recording recently made by AGC and available here.
