Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is an important pillar of the Lean Construction Institute. The construction industry has seen a sharp decline in productivity and project outcomes since the late 1960s. A large reason for this decline is that a vast majority of projects are delivered late and over-budget.
The aim of IPD is to create a better system of collaboration and communication between the various parties involved in a construction project, from the owner to the designer to the builder and any trades and suppliers involved. This method stands in contrast to the traditional design-bid-build project delivery model in which the owner of the project has separate contracts with each party and serves as a go-between for the design and build teams.
IPD in Lean construction and design stands for Integrated Project Delivery. IPD is a construction project delivery method by which key parties involved in the design, fabrication, and construction aspects of a project are joined together under a single agreement. This allows for ongoing communication and collaboration throughout the project’s phases which decreases waste while increasing efficiency, respect for team members, and project outcomes including profits.
