  • Construction Management Competition

    ABC's Construction Management Competition (CMC) is the hallmark competition that promotes careers in construction management. In addition to providing a significant learning opportunity, the competition fosters an environment that will bring out the best in each team; encourage dialogue among the students; and foster the team spirit as students rise to meet this challenge. The competition features teams of four college and university students testing their project management, estimating, safety, quality-control and presentation skills. Come prepared to have fun, challenge other students and demonstrate your ability to think on your feet.

    The CMC is planned and conducted by ABC’s Construction Management Competition Committee. This committee consists of contractor representatives and ABC chapter and national staff.

    Eligibility Requirements

    All teams must be from an ABC student chapter in good standing. If you are not an ABC student chapter and would like to compete, please contact Haley Moyers at [email protected] or at (202) 595-1974.

    Each team member and alternate must be an active undergraduate member of the chapter and actively enrolled in their college or university at the time of the CMC. Only one team per college or university may compete in the competition.
