Each year two teams of BCN students are picked by the previous year's team and faculty members to compete against other construction school students in competitions. The teams each consist of six students, who begin preparing for the spring semester competion during the fall semester.

The teams travel to competition locations where 24 hours are allotted to complete an assigned task. Traditionally, the University of Florida building construction team places among the top in the nation. Team member application dates are posted in the spring. Professor Michael Cook is the faculty advisor for the commercial construction management team, Dr. Rick Smailes is the faculty advisor for the residential construction management team, and Dr. Kevin Grosskopf is the faculty advisor for the design-build team.
