2012 Competition Highlights
ABC student members from colleges and universities across the nation came to San Antonio, TX to compete in the 2012 Construction Management Competition, held during the 2012 EdCon & Expo. This year the competition drew competing teams from 25 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 adjust their work based on changes to the project, such as site logistics. Eight finalist teams were chosen to verbally present their submission to a panel of judges acting as owners' reps and design professionals.
