Canstruction

Canstruction Melbourne is a community-focused competition where students from the Graduate Infrastructure Engineering Society and Construction Students Association  take on the InEight team to design and build a structure entirely from food cans.

Using InEight’s Model and Estimate software, teams will calculate quantities, plan materials, and complete the build under time constraints. All cans used will be donated to Foodbank Victoria.

The initiative provides students with practical experience using industry-grade software, while demonstrating construction innovation and giving back to the community.
