Integrated Project Delivery: A Guide
This authoritative guide walks you through the principles of Integrated Project Delivery so you can advocate for, set up, and deliver integrated projects.
Understanding & implementing IPD
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants. The goals of IPD are to optimize project results, increase value to owners, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.
IPD principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements. IPD teams can include members beyond the owner, architect, and contractor. In all cases, integrated projects are uniquely distinguished by highly effective collaboration between the owner, the prime designer, and the prime constructor, beginning at early design and continuing through project handover.
