Customer Explanation

Lack of Communication

Designer and Contractor Interpretations

Customer Actual Need

TRADITIONAL APPROACH

• Plan Design Build Operate

• Each phase is in a silo

• Problems with this approach:

• Less transparency

• More contracts to manage

• Less collaboration & ideas

WHAT IS INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY?

• Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.

• Originated in the 90s and trademarked in 2000

• Endorsed by American Institute of Architects (AIA) and many others

IPD COMPONENTS

• Multi-Party Contract

• Owner, Designer/Architect, Builder

• Implementation of Lean Concepts, Practices, and Tools

• Intentional Creation of a Collaborative Culture

• Right Attitude

• Aligned in Same Direction

IPD TAKE-AWAYS

• Address the entire picture, not the parts

• Collaborate

• Increase understanding of all parties

• Learning with action

PROS & CONS

• Pros

• Financial Alignment of entire project

• “Skin in the game” during preconstruction

• Keep up with emerging technologies

• Cons

• Upfront investment

• Doesn’t work if some have closed minds

SO WHY INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY?

• Three main goals: quality/scope, budget, and schedule

• Pick two (2)!

• Integrated Project Delivery is dedicated contracting method

• Vs Design-bid-build, Design-build, etc.

• Improved communication among key individuals

• Transparency

• Lower Project Costs

• All parties share in project risk and reward, incentive from all parties.

• Apply to teams beyond traditional owner, architect, and contractor.

• Not just for the architect-owner-contractor contracts.
