AWARD NATIONAL DESIGN-BUILD STUDENT COMPETITION// 22 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. 2014 DBIA National Design-Build Student Competition - Call For Entries Open Until March 24 Teams of Four students from any design and construction university are welcome to submit.
