Each year six teams of BCN students are selected by the previous year's team and faculty members to compete against other construction program students in regional and national competitions. The teams each consist of six students, who begin preparing for the competition during the semester before the competition.

The teams travel to competition locations where 24 hours are allotted to complete an assigned task. Traditionally, the University of Florida building construction teams place among the top in the nation. Team member application dates are posted in the spring. Professor Michael Cook is the faculty coach for the commercial construction management team, Dr. Rick Smailes is the faculty coach for the residential construction management team, Dr. Kevin Grosskopf is the faculty coach for the design-build team, Dr. Ajay Shanker is the faculty coach for the heavy/civil team, Dr. Charles Kibert is the faculty coach for LEED team, and Dr. Raymond Issa is the faculty coach for graduate students team.
