George Brown College students dominated at the Construction Institute of Canadaโ€™s 2019 Simulated Student Bid Competition, sweeping three of the four categories.

โ€œThe performance of our students was excellent,โ€ said Adel Esayed, dean of the collegeโ€™s Centre for Construction and Engineering Technologies (CCET). โ€œThe completion was also a great networking opportunity for our students โ€” and a great opportunity for the people in our industry to meet our students and recognize their abilities.โ€

The bid challenge included 74 teams from seven colleges and universities from across Canada โ€” including a 34 teams from George Brown, which were supervised by CCET professors Tulsi Regmi and Rasha At-Attar, the college reported in its newsletter.

โ€œThe bid competition is one of the most important and sought-after national student competitions in Canada for construction management students,โ€ Regmi said. โ€œEvery year, our students look forward to this competition as a ‘rite of passage,’ and they contribute their best efforts to challenge themselves to stand out amongst the very best in the country.โ€

The competition aims to help students understand and gain experience in the construction bidding and estimating process. Competitors must submit complete bids based on contract documents for a complex building project. Submissions are then evaluated by a panel of industry professionals. This yearโ€™s bid was for a $29-million, 162,000 sq. ft. indoor soccer facility.
