NATIONAL DESIGN-BUILD STUDENT COMPETITION//

winter//2014
California State-Sacramento winning student team with DBIA past Chair, Barbara Wagner
hall and offices for faculty and staff. Students had
to work with a size limit of 130,000 square feet and
a fixed project cost limit of $40 million.
In phase two, the jury short-listed three teams as
the finalists. They had one week to respond in full
to the request for proposal (RFP) the jury issued.
These three finalists went to the 2013 Design-Build
Conference & Expo in Las Vegas to compete in
front of a jury consisting of design-build experts
(representing the owner) for the grand prize.
"The competition was a great experience, as it
familiarized us with what is expected in the construction industry," Colorado State Team Captain
Zach Hoover says, "and it allowed us to exemplify
what we have learned in school so far and put it
into practice."
In their presentations, each team member spoke
for 10 minutes before answering questions from
the jury, who relied on their vast experience in
the industry to come up with questions the owner
would have asked in a real-world situation. "It's as
real life as they can get," says Mikael Anderson,
chair of the Sacramento State Construction
Management Department.
"The amount of information we needed to
review and familiarize ourselves with throughout
both phases of the competition provided a glance
on the importance of being diligent with our time
and identifying the key factors that will allow us
to succeed in the future," remarks Javier Mederos,
president of the California State-Sacramento DBIA
Student Chapter.
And teaching students what they need to know
for the future to help advance our industry is
exactly the goal of this competition.
