Student Competition

2023-24 Construction Management Student Competition

The Roofing Alliance hosted is 10th Anniversary Construction Management Student Competition in February at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This hallmark 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.

Teams were tasked with submitting a qualified bid package for the Formula 1 Paddock Building, Las Vegas. The oral presentation scores were combined with the teams’ written proposal scores to determine the winning team. Five finalist teams gave oral presentations on-site during the International Roofing Expo.

How it works

Each year, Roofing Alliance leaders select a roofing project in the city where the International Roofing Expo® will be held. Teams research the chosen project, submit a qualified bid package proposal, and complete an oral presentation to illustrate their roofing, project management, estimating and safety knowledge. After receiving project details, each team is assigned a roofing contractor mentor who will provide guidance while students craft their written proposal. Proposals are reviewed and scored by a panel of industry judges.

The top teams will be invited to attend the International Roofing Expo to present their proposals to the judges. Finalist teams also are invited to attend the Roofing Alliance’s Welcome Reception, tour the project, and attend NRCA’s Industry Awards Ceremony where winning teams will be recognized onstage.

Eligibility

Each team member must be an undergraduate enrolled in the college or university he or she represents during the written proposal and oral presentation portions of the competition.
