Hello!
Non-Profit Organization „BUILDIT Ukraine” invites students of
2-6 years of education of mechanical engineering, structural
engineering, civil engineers, plumbers, electricians, and
architectural departments to take part in the International
student team competition VDC Roasting 2020, based on
Virtual Design and Construction processes – vdcroasting.com.
Last year we held the first competition for students of the
universities majoring in engineering, construction, and
architecture in Ukraine.
This year we are expanding our borders to make VDC Roasting
International, as well as completely online, so we are convinced
that the students of your university should definitely give it a
try.
The competition is based on acquaintance with the
construction project lifecycle and typical problems that arise
during its execution. Participants’ task is to solve typical and
atypical design and management issues appearing in the
construction project. Solving these problems requires the use
of such VDC-processes as 4D Planning, Multidisciplinary
Coordination, Value Engineering in order to improve energy
efficiency.
Requirements for participants
- To be a student of 2-6 years of majors: architecture,
civil/structural engineering, MEPF engineering. - Assemble a team of 4 participants and a curator who will
help the team to solve the organizational part of tasks; - To have:
● basic design or engineering skills
● basic skills in CAD/BIM software
● understanding of construction process (or check our
useful links on a vdcroasting.com and learn); - Get ready for the three hard weeks of Qualifying Stage,
and infernal Final!
