Integrated Project Delivery, also known as IPD, is a collaborative approach to design objectives and processes. The main goals of IPD is to involve all parties from all aspects of a project in every detail of the project, from conception onward. This way parties from every aspect of the project can provide guidance and expertise all along the way, even before the project is officially started. The IPD process also focuses heavily on building virtually before ever beginning to build physically.
Integrated Project Delivery is not possible without BIM, or Building Information Modeling. BIM helps to put all the facts and details on the table so that the IPD team can work together. The result is a collaborative effort by all parties to make each project the best that it can be. It is really emerging as a great way to help project teams work together and collaborate.
IPD can help companies make sure that projects run smoothly, and makes sure that all parties involved have an equal voice. Each expert can weigh in and voice their opinions on the project, and allow for things to run in harmony. With IPD, everyone is along for the whole project, every step of the way. Each project can have the best: experience, talent, design, and combine them all together to make each project outstanding.
IPD really is a revolutionary way of revamping the business industry. With each person working towards the common goal, each project gets the attention it deserves.
