MCAA Student Chapter Competition – Final Four Named

January 16, 2025

Twenty-seven MCAA Student Chapters submitted a proposal for the MCAA Medical Research Building Project. Congratulations to the Final Four and Merit Award teams. Final Four teams will present their proposals on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 4th on the main stage at MCAA25 in Austin, TX.

This is the 24th year of the MCAA Student Chapter Competition and the student teams were asked to submit a proposal as the prime mechanical contractor. This included all piping, HVAC, controls, and any other work required by the bid documents. Teams were also tasked with purchasing the equipment and materials and providing all the necessary labor to complete the entire project scope.

Thank you to the following companies for their special contributions to the competition project:

  • Fresh Meadow Mechanical Corporation (supplying the project)
  • DEWALT (sponsoring the competition prizes)
  • Procore (use of their Project Management software)
  • Trimble (use of Trimble Estimation MEP software)
  • Ferguson (providing pricing for pipe valves and fittings)

For a third year, Trimble will be providing a $5,000 scholarship to one competition Final Four participant who has expressed interest in a career as an estimator within the mechanical contracting industry. This scholarship will be presented at the MCAA25 Awards of Excellence Breakfast on Wednesday, March 5th.
