DBIA seeks student teams for design-build competition
The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) has announced its fourth annual National Design-Build Student Competition with a call for student teams. The annual competition closely follows how real-life design-build projects are procured — it's a two-step competition, with teams responding to RFQs, short-listed finalists responding to RFPs, and a final in-person presentation at the 2015 Design-Build Conference & Expo in Denver.
"The National Design-Build Student Competition challenges and inspires the next generation of design-build leaders by asking them to apply DBIA's design-build best practices to propose a delivery solution for an $18 million science building on a college campus," explained DBIA's Executive Director/CEO, Lisa Washington, CAE. "Providing students a competition that mirrors a typical industry process prepares them for success in the industry in a way classroom lectures do not. In fact, the experience of participating in this competition may even make students more competitive candidates for the jobs they seek after school."
