About the Competition
The Simulated Student Bid Competition is a yearly event that is held in order to help students understand the real life challenges that are present within the construction bidding and estimating process. The challenge of the simulated bid competition is for students across Canada to submit complete bids based on a set of contract documents. These bids must contain quantity take offs for own forces work, a sub-trade analysis and selection, as well as an overhead and pricing summary. The bids are judged based on three criteria; most outstanding professional conduct, most accurate and complete bid package, and closest to the target price.
Winners are presented with monetary awards and plaques. Contestants that submit bids are awarded with certificates for participating in the competition.
This competition provides a learning experience for both third and fourth year students in their respective programs. The participatory aspect of the competition is filled by the third year students competing as an estimating team. Facilitating the competition will be the fourth year students.
In the past a number of schools have participated in the bid competition. Many schools have now incorporated the competition into their curriculum.
We at The Construction Institute of Canada are committed to develop and promote professionalism and excellence in the management of the construction process.
