2009 International Builders’ Show NAHB Student Chapters Awards Ceremony Results
The NAHB Student Chapters Residential Construction Management Competition is one of the highlights at the annual NAHB International Builders’ Show. The competition gives students the opportunity to apply the skills learned in the classroom to a real construction project by completing a management proposal. The proposals are submitted to a group of construction company executives who act as judges. During the convention, students present and defend their proposals to the judges in front of an audience. This year's project is located in San Antonio, Texas. The presentations will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada at the International Builders' Show.
