The future of roofing is here!

The Roofing Alliance will host its 11th Annual Construction Management Student Competition this February at the International Roofing Expo® in San Antonio, Texas. This hallmark event introduces students to roofing as a career path and offers valuable networking opportunities with peers, faculty, and Roofing Alliance members.

This year’s competition project, provided by Beldon Roofing Co. in San Antonio, challenges teams to develop a comprehensive bid proposal for the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Antonio Airport Hotel. Each team will work with a contractor mentor to prepare a bid package, showcasing their project management, estimating, and safety skills.

The competition will take place on February 20, 2025, at the International Roofing Expo®, with the five finalist teams announced in January 2025.

Learn more about the history of the competition.

How it works

Each year, Roofing Alliance leaders select a roofing project in the city where the International Roofing Expo® will be held. Teams research the chosen project, submit a qualified bid package proposal, and complete an oral presentation to illustrate their roofing, project management, estimating and safety knowledge. After receiving project details, each team is assigned a roofing contractor mentor who will provide guidance while students craft their written proposal. Proposals are reviewed and scored by a panel of industry judges.

The top teams will be invited to attend the International Roofing Expo to present their proposals to the judges. Finalist teams also are invited to attend the Roofing Alliance’s Welcome Reception, tour the project, and attend NRCA’s Industry Awards Ceremony where winning teams will be recognized onstage.

Eligibility

Each team member must be an undergraduate enrolled in the college or university he or she represents during the written proposal and oral presentation portions of the competition.
