ABC student members from colleges and universities across the nation came to Honolulu, HI to compete in the 2009 Construction Management Competition, held during the ABC National Convention. This year the competition drew competing teams from 21 colleges and universities. Students worked in teams of four in an intense day-long competition, taking part in a bid day drill. Prior to the event, teams prepared a project schedule and developed a safety plan, then came prepared to take subcontractor bids every 15 minutes and work them into their overall estimate. Five finalist teams were chosen to verbally present their submission to a panel of judges acting as owner's reps and design professionals.
