The NC State Construction Alliance student group brought home first place in the Bid Simulation category at the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Region 2 Student Competition in Peachtree City, Georgia, on November 15. The team, which was led by captain Maile Kennaugh, included Anto Ovid, Rashmita Patel, Sai Chand Bollineni, Myat Mon Aye, and Shantanu Sangwan and was advised by E. I. Clancy Distinguished Professor Dr. Edward Jaselskis.

“This is an outstanding accomplishment, and it is the best result that an NC State team has ever achieved in the ASC competition,” said Abdullah Alsharef, a CCEE postdoctoral research scholar who served as the team’s coach.

As part of the competition, teams were required to deliver submittals such as a preconstruction report, cost estimate, five dimensional building information modeling, and present their work. The student competition included schools across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
