Sponsored by Centex Homes Student Chapters at four-year universities compete in a more extensive competition. Competing teams must develop a complete business plan for a multi-unit subdivision. Teams are given initial specs and then have two weeks to produce their proposals.
Teams present their proposals to a panel of judges during the Builders' Show.
These judges act as investors in the project and then choose the team with the best plan. Teams will consist of five members plus one alternate. The alternate may not be replaced if he or she is ultimately used. Each student on the team will assume the responsibility of a member of the management team of a construction company. The management teams will be required to make a presentation, summarizing their proposal and management concept, on Thursday, January 15 or Friday, January 16, 1998.
