Construction professionals aged under 30 are being invited to sign up for TeamBuild 2009, a competition that challenges different disciplines to work together to solve a real-life construction challenge over the course of a weekend. It Aims to promote understanding and co-operation between young professionals in the construction industry. Architect Bea Zimelka was part of last year’s winning team. She said: “This experience has been hugely beneficial to us as individuals and as a team. We had the most fantastic experience, both professionally and personally. The project was challenging and we had to stick to a budget as we would in a real situation, so it stretched all of our technical and team-working skills. “To be chosen as winners by some of the most prestigious judges in the industry is the biggest compliment there could be.” The judges, who are drawn from the top echelons of industry, mark the teams on architectural, landscape, civil, structural, M&E, financial, construction and project management skills. The teams of up to six must complete a pre-qualification task and the top nine teams will be invited to stunning Eynsham Hall in Oxfordshire for the finals weekend in November. Participation in the final weekend counts as four days CPD, as well as helping competitors fulfil several of the core objectives required for chartered membership of many institutions. It starts with a masterplan proposal and runs right through the construction process, finishing with the construction stage of a major development. There are three cash prizes: for the overall winning team, best procurement strategy and a judges’ discretionary prize. The competition is supported by professional built-environment institutions, employers, the Worshipful Company of Chartered Architects and the Worshipful Company of Constructors, among others. Formerly known as the Build-a-Building competition, it has been held annually since 1992. For more information visit www.teambuilduk.com. |
