While we wait for the final election results from yesterday’s primary election, including statewide offices like Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Treasurer, AGC of California is proud to have been at the table supporting their candidacy.

Together with our members, we build real relationships with the candidates who matter, long before ballots were cast. We invest in candidates who demonstrate a commitment to California's construction industry and the infrastructure that keeps our state moving forward, and we invest early. Investing in the right relationships are how you earn a seat at the table… a table where AGC continues to elevate the voice of California’s construction industry.

Having a reliable water supply is necessary to support California’s growing infrastructure demands and future planned development.💧

AGC of California signed onto the updated Water Forum Agreement (WF2050), a regional framework that coordinates long-term water supply planning across the Lower American River region. The agreement helps water agencies align on groundwater management, surface water operations, conservation, and drought response to support reliable water supplies for future growth and development.

Regional coordination through WF2050 also helps reduce uncertainty around long-term water availability, supporting more reliable project planning and helping keep future development projects on time and on budget.

For more information or questions on the WF2050 agreement, please contact Chris Smith, Associate Vice President of State Government Affairs, at [email protected].

Ready to take your construction scheduling skills to the next level? 🏗️📐

A strong schedule does more than track deadlines. It helps teams coordinate work, manage resources, anticipate challenges, and keep projects on time and on budget.

Led by industry expert Troy Aichele, this workshop will cover:
✔ CPM scheduling fundamentals, including critical path and float
✔ Pull planning and short-interval planning
✔ BIM coordination schedules
✔ Commissioning and project closeout scheduling
✔ Schedule analysis, contract language, and best practices

With more than 30 years of construction industry experience, Troy will share practical strategies and real-world insights you can immediately apply to your projects.
