Integrated project delivery (IPD) is the emerging standard for early collaboration and effective decision making in the building industry today. Incorporating a building information modeling (BIM) toolset into any aspect of the IPD process enables project teams to use information in an integrated environment, increasing efficiency and enabling new ways of working that inspire more creative and sustainable designs.
Integrated Project Delivery encourages early contribution of knowledge and experience and requires proactive involvement of key participants. Responsibility is placed on the most able person with decisions being made on a “best for project” basis. Although it is possible to achieve Integrated Project Delivery without Building Information Modeling, it is the opinion and recommendation of this study that Building Information Modeling is essential to efficiently achieve the collaboration required for Integrated Project Delivery.
