Construction management schools are encouraged to participate.
(Rosemont, IL) September 15, 2022 —The Roofing Alliance, the foundation of the
National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), is proud to announce the
launch of its ninth annual student competition. This hallmark event will take
place March 8, 2023, during the International Roofing Expo® in Dallas, Texas.
Roofing professionals are asked to share this information with construction
management schools in their area, encouraging the formation of student teams to
participate.
The competition challenges university-level construction management students
through written and oral presentations on their roofing knowledge, project
management capabilities and presentation skills. The teams research the project,
review the plans and specifications, and assemble a full estimate and qualified
bid package proposal that is submitted to a board of Roofing Alliance
judges.
This year’s project is Globe Life Field in Dallas, Texas. The event exposes
students to roofing as a career choice and provides a valuable opportunity to
network and connect with fellow students, faculty and Roofing Alliance members.
The project, originally completed by KPost Roofing and Waterproofing, Dallas,
Texas, will provide a challenging and educational experience for student
teams.
The Roofing Alliance Student Competition involves a two-step process:
The student
competition is a unique and exciting learning experience for students and
faculty, providing opportunities for scholarships and presenter recognition
during the NRCA’s Awards Ceremony. While at the International Roofing Expo,
students can meet with Roofing Alliance members during a special reception,
visit the exhibiting companies in the Roofing Expo and attend educational
sessions.
Universities interested in participating must complete the online form
by Sept. 23. Once a team commits, they will be connected with a Roofing
Alliance member in their area to serve as a team mentor who assists the team
throughout the competition.
“We are very proud of this competition and are looking forward to seeing
several universities participate,” stated Allen Lancaster, Roofing Alliance
Construction Management Committee Chairman and Vice President of Metalcrafts, A
Tecta America Co., Savannah, Ga. “We want the roofing industry to share
details about the competition with construction management schools they may be
associated with and ask them to consider participating.”
