Construction Management (ASC 67)
The Construction Management team competes annually at the Associated Schools of Construction Regions 6 & 7 (ASC 67) competition where corporate sponsors give students construction problems based on real-life projects. The problem statements vary for each category in the competition. Students have to plan and carry out the projects within a day and subsequently present their solutions to a panel of corporate judges who score their solutions, reports, and presentations. While a main chunk of the competition requires over sixteen hours of nonstop work, it provides invaluable experience in the general contracting and construction management fields. An additional banquet, career fair, and an unlimited token arcade are just some of the awesome perks of the competition!
We start preparing for the competition in early Fall Quarter by doing practice problems. We often ask professionals from the design and construction industry to coach us and provide helpful comments and suggestions. Their feedback helps us recognize what we need to incorporate into our reports, how we should effectively convey our ideas to the judges, and how to best approach similar problems in the competition and actual construction projects.

We have participated in the competition in Sparks, Nevada since 2014. We compete in the Mixed Use, Sustainability, Design Build, and Concrete Solutions categories. In Mixed Use, we plan a project for residential and commercial uses. In Sustainability, we work to solve sustainability issues that come up during construction. In Design Build, we develop a design-build package which includes the design, estimate, schedule and final proposal for a specified project. In Concrete Solutions, we develop a Revit model for a concrete construction project and build a proposal for the project.
