Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a collaborative process that has been applied more and more frequently to building design and construction projects. Although it is implemented in slightly different ways from project to project, it is always about involving all project team members in intense planning and coordination, starting very early in design and extending through construction and facility turnover. It is time-intensive but intended to benefit overall project efficiency through improved communication, reduction of waste, and leveraging the skills and experience of all team members to achieve optimal results for the owner.
