Before proceeding with a project, the appropriate procurement option has to be selected by the client that provide an effective organization to minimize all the risk that will be occur during the construction process
A fundamental truth in construction is that every project is unique. As a result, every project presents new challenges as well as new opportunities for owners, designers and constructors.

0 Introduction There is a growing interest in integrated project delivery (IPD) and the role building information modeling (BIM) can play in promoting integration among building professionals and improving design outcomes. This report reviews the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) method of building design and construction and the main obstacles that are preventing it from being regularly adopted throughout the industry. Within the building industry, IPD is referred to by many names such as whole
Benefit and reward: All parties of construction project will benefit from IPD. The integrated process required more participants' involvement at early stage, because the IPD structure will recognize the compensation and reward at early involvement. The compensation will be based on adding value to the project and it will rewards what's the best for the project instead of individual benefit. For example providing incentives tied to achieving project objectives and goals. The concept is to use innovative
