2024 Student Competition

In 2024, The Roofing Alliance hosted its 10th annual Construction Management Student Competition, which was the Formula 1 Paddock Building located in Las Vegas, NV. Each team had to research the project, review the plans and specifications, and assemble a full estimate and proposal to submit a qualified bid package.  They had to work to find a competitive edge to beat the competition while still maintaining a reasonable margin. For this project, each team had to decide on the correct application methods, show overall roofing knowledge and illustrate that its company is prepared to undertake the project. 

We'd like to thank Commercial Roofers Inc. in Las Vegas for the project. 

We are pleased to announce that ten teams participated in our 10th Annual Student Competition.
