The Roofing Alliance, the foundation of the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA), has announced winners of the Construction Management Student Competition, the Best of the Best Award and the Gold Circle Award winners who were recognized at NRCA’s Industry Awards Ceremony and Cocktail Reception held Feb. 5, 2020.
Student Competition
The five finalist teams gave oral presentations as the final stage of the sixth annual Roofing Alliance Construction Management Student Competition. The teams presented their proposals for installing a new roof system on the Ford Center, the practice facility of the Dallas Cowboys, which was originally installed by KPost Roofing & Waterproofing to a panel of roofing industry experts. The oral presentation scores were combined with the teams’ written proposal scores to determine the winning team.
The Roofing Alliance is proud to announce Texas A&M University as the winning school and Samuel Short of Auburn University as the Best Individual Presenter.
