The ABC Construction Management Competition is a hallmark competition promoting careers in construction management. Sponsored and supported by ABC members, the CMC features teams of college and university students testing their project management, estimating, safety, quality control and presentation skills.

This competition gives the nation’s top construction management students a glimpse into the real world of construction, as well as an opportunity to showcase their talents and provide them valuable, resume-building experience. In addition to creating a significant learning opportunity, the competition fosters an environment that will bring out the best in each team, encourages dialogue among the students, builds team spirit and heightens problem-solving skills as students rise to meet this challenge.

Each team is required to have four competitors and a faculty adviser for the competition. Alternates are optional. Early bird registration is $495 per person. The regular rate is $545 and will take effect on Nov. 4.
