2012 DBIA NATIONAL COMPETITION
This was the first time DBIA-PSU participated in this competition.
The Design Build Institute of America invites students to participate in the inaugural National Design-Build Student Competition. Unlike other student competitions, DBIA’s design-build competition will mirror best practices in actual design-build project delivery by breaking the competition into a two-phase process. Phase 1 will be issuance of a general “problem” statement that requires teams of four to provide a broad, all-encompassing solution to the problem presented, along with data on your team skill set (including how you’ve been educated on Design-Build at your University) to meet the qualifications needed to accomplish the owner goals (the RFQ phase).
In Phase 2, DBIA will issue an RFP to the three “shortlisted” teams and those teams will have one week to respond in full to the RFP. These three finalists will compete for the grand prize during the 2012 Design-Build Conference & Expo, at which time the winner will also be publicly acknowledged.
