“Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a 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 insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste and maximize efficiency through all phases

  • f design, fabrication and construction.”

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Governmental data, both in this country and abroad, demonstrates that a very significant portion of the cost incurred in construction results in complete “waste.” In the United States alone, as much as 30% of the total construction cost is consumed by waste, with no value to the project. The construction industry is the only significant industry in the United States which has shown a decline in productivity in the past few decades. p y p

The Model will be used throughout the balance of the design and construction of the project, with the building being “virtually built” at the end of design and the model then updated during construction to eventually serve as a “record drawing” of the completed project in order to assist the Owner with regard to the completed project in order to assist the Owner with regard to the eventual operation and maintenance of the Project.
