Competition Description
For the past 12 years, the Construction Management Program at NAU has sent teams to the Associated Schools of Construction annual construction management competition. These teams are comprised of 6 team members and a coach.
The competition begins with an intense session of problem solving based on complex project plans and contract documents. The competing teams have no previous knowledge of the documents. They are sequestered in a hotel room arranged to serve as an office space. For 20 hours, after receiving the problem, they work non-stop to create answers and solutions to the competition problem statements. No outside assistance is permitted.
The following day, the teams present an oral defense of their solutions. Panels of experts judge team member presentation skills and the accuracy or feasibility of the team solutions. Awards are given to the top 3 teams. The top team in each division goes on to a national competition.
Application Information
All students interested in competing at the ASC Competition must sign up for CM497 in the Fall 2009 Semester.
