The Roofing Alliance Construction Management Student Competition is designed to test the students on their roofing knowledge, project management capabilities and presentation skills. This year’s project is Globe Life Field in Dallas. Teams researched the chosen project, submitted a qualified bid package proposal, and will provide an oral presentation to illustrate their roofing, project management, estimating and safety knowledge.

All participating teams submitted their proposal packages, which were then reviewed by a panel of industry judges. The teams will now travel to Dallas where they will present their proposals as if they were presenting them to the general contractor for the project on Wednesday, March 8. The top three winning teams will be announced at the NRCA Awards Ceremony and Cocktail Reception on March 8, starting at 5 p.m.

To register for the student competition, visit the International Roofing Expo® website at International Roofing Expo | The Premier Roofing & Exterior Event (theroofingexpo.com). For more information about the Roofing Alliance, please contact Alison L. LaValley, CAE, executive director, at alavalley@nrca.net.
