NAWIC CAD Competition Winners/ASA Industry Awards/ACEC Certifies Expert Witnesses

The local chapter of the American Subcontractors Association honored its 2004 award winners at a banquet in April.


NAWIC Announces CAD Competition Winners

The winners of the National Association of Women in Construction and The Classic Companies' CAD/Design/Drafting Competition 2004 were announced at an awards ceremony held recently at the East Library and Information Center in Colorado Springs.

The ceremony was the culmination of months of preparation by 46 students from four area high schools. The students were asked to design a 7,000-sq-ft home for teens in transition called Teenbridge. A panel of 25 judges, all Colorado Springs construction industry professionals, judged the design entries.

Judging was based on the completeness and accuracy of each drawing - floor plan, electrical plan, elevations, building sections and site plan - and how well it met the needs and desires of the client. The judges awarded points for creativity, presentation, hand lettering and the use of CAD functions.

First place winners were awarded a check for $200; second place winners got $100, and third place winners received $50.

The competition introduces high school students to the construction industry in a positive and challenging way and provides mentoring opportunities between students and professionals in the industry.

Winners for the CAD/Design/Drafting Competition 2004 were as follows:

  • CAD Division:
    Total CAD Students participating: 29
    1st Place: Amanda Cadwell (12th grade), Rampart High School
