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

Fort Worth Skyline, built in part by members of Fort Worth AGCAGCFortWorth.com was created by AGC member Bob Moore Construction to provide some historical perspective on the history of construction advocacy and leadership in Ft. Worth. The history of the AGC and the Ft. Worth Chapter of AGC had its origin in 1925, and includes a merger with Dallas AGC in 2001 to form a single north Texas chapter.

With its merger with ABC, North Texas Chapter, and subsequent name change to TEXO The Construction Association, this organization is now the second largest AGC / ABC Chapter in the United States, second only to the North and South Carolina Chapter.

AGC / ABC Merger in Fort Worth - TEXO

On October 24, 2008 the North / East Texas Chapter of the AGC (Associated General Contractors), merged with Associated Builders and Contractors of North Texas (ABC), to form a single organization. The new organization name change was effective January 1, 2009 and is now known as TEXO The Construction Association a Chapter of AGC / ABC. TEXO is a Latin term meaning, "to weave or blend," appropriate for the two Contractor organizations who for years have been competing associations.

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