Instructor Guide
Sponsorship
Following defined criteria provided by the Construction Industry Education Foundation (CIEF), each team completes the challenge of designing and preparing construction documents for a 96 square-foot structure — which are submitted for plan review by volunteer community plan-checkers and architectural professionals.  Any required corrections must be submitted prior to the construction phase of the project, which take place over a two-day period under supervision and with a primary focus on safety.

Judging is conducted by a panel of design and construction industry professionals — including quality of documentation, design, project management and conduct, craftsmanship, teamwork, and safety.

The same package of materials is provided to each team, yet the creations of the structures have varied greatly over the years — from sheds to miniature castles and Victorians, replicas of California missions to barns and even a jail house!  Recent years have brought a focus to green designs, framing, and construction techniques.  Each school is allowed to sell their final product and retain the revenue to support their school’s program.

Many of the participating Design Build teams spend a good part of the year planning and training for the event, and even though it becomes a competition with pride on the line, one of the most notable aspects is the enthusiasm of both students and instructors — and a definite spirit of mutual support and sharing knowledge among teams… helping each realize the best of their potential.
