Integrating Project Delivery - Tapa dura

A revolutionary, collaborative approach to design and construction project delivery Integrating Project Delivery is the first book-length discussion of IPD, the emergent project delivery method that draws on each stakeholder's unique knowledge to address problems before they occur. Written by authors with over a decade of research and practical experience, this book provides a primer on IPD for architects, designers, and students interested in this revolutionary approach to design and construction. With a focus on IPD in everyday operation, coverage includes a detailed explanation and analysis of IPD guidelines, and case studies that show how real companies are applying these guidelines on real-world projects. End-of-chapter questions help readers quickly review what they've learned, and the online forum allows them to share their insights and ideas with others who either have or are in the process of implementing IPD themselves. Integrating Project Delivery brings together the owners, architect, engineers, and contractors early in the development stage to ensure that problems are caught early, and to address them in a collaborative way. This book describes the parameters of this new, more efficient approach, with expert insight on real-world implementation. * Compare traditional procurement with IPD * Understand IPD guidelines, and how they're implemented * Examine case studies that illustrate everyday applications * Communicate with other IPD adherents in the online forum The IPD approach revolutionizes not only the workflow, but the relationships between the stakeholders the atmosphere turns collaborative, and the team works together toward a shared goal instead of viewing one another as obstructions to progress. Integrated Project Delivery provides a deep exploration of this approach, with practical guidance and expert insight.

Practical Guidelines for Aligning Project Collaborators for Optimal Delivery

Every project can benefit from integration; integration creates synergies that lead to higher performing buildings and happier building users, clients, and project teams. Integrating Project Delivery offers the first comprehensive look at the emergent integrated project delivery (IPD) system. It uses the Simple Framework to organize the essential steps for integration and combines the key structural, process, technology, and behavioral components necessary to drive the behavioral change required to achieve high performance projects.

Detailing the "why" and "how," Integrating Project Delivery helps students and practitioners alike develop a deep understanding of the value of an IPD system to bring stakeholders together early in the planning process to maximize talents and improve project clarity, execution, and, ultimately, success. Written as a guide to using IPD strategically and in daily work, this unique resource includes detailed explanations, discusses legal structures that support the process, and features case studies revealing how leading companies use IPD.

You will learn how to change the way your organization works and delivers projects using:

• Authoritative education on processes developed through industry-funded research at Stanford University's Center for Integrated Facility Engineering
• Practical knowledge gained from all sizes and types of IPD projects
• Real-life examples and advice from owners based on their IPD journeys

Students learn how collaborative projects are organized and executed to prepare them for the industry transition to collaboration. Owners, designers, and builders learn how to use IPD to achieve better value for all participants, together.
