The 2024 Design-Build Student Competition Now Open



Each year a unique project is created to challenge our student design-build competitors. This year’s project will be no different.


This three-phase competition gives teams from colleges and universities the chance to respond to a Request for Qualifications (the first phase) and a Request for Proposals (the second phase). In phase three, the top three teams after the RFP phase will present their proposals to a panel of industry leaders at the 2024 Design-Build Conference & Expo in Dallas, TX this November. The competition is impressive and provides an incredible opportunity for young design-builders.


Register your team by August 30, 2024, to Participate!
