McGraw-Hill Construction and the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Sign Two-Year Publishing Agreement

ORLANDO, Fla., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw-Hill Construction, part of The McGraw-Hill Companies (NYSE: MHP), has signed an agreement with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) to publish Constructor, the official magazine of the AGC, and the AGC Online Membership Directory for the next two years. The contract was announced today at AGC's 91st Annual Convention and Pavilion in Orlando, Florida.

"It is a challenging time for our nation and our industry, driven in large part by the economy, but also by the ever-accelerating pace of technology," said Robert D. Stuono, Senior Vice President and General Manager of McGraw-Hill Construction. "In this environment, there is a heightened need for information, whether it relates to where contractors get their next job, what impact legislation has on construction activity, or what the latest trends are for sustainable building and design. Through our information products and services, we are committed to helping the industry emerge stronger than before and excited to continue working with the AGC to publish Constructor and its Online Membership Directory."

This new contract continues the two organizations' existing agreement that began in February 2005. New capabilities and enhancements for Constructor magazine, which is delivered to 34,000 AGC members, and the Online Membership Directory, which features company profiles and powerful search capabilities, are planned for later this year.

Constructor is a leading association business journal, published six times a year by McGraw-Hill Construction for the 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. The AGC Online Membership Directory provides search services for owners, contractors, architects, and specialty and service firms to locate AGC member companies based on specific parameters such as region, type of work, and keyword.
