Quantifying the performance of Integrated Project Delivery System in contrast with Design Build and Construction Management at Risk

Introduction and Background to the Problem
Integrated project delivery (IPD) includes extensive partnership needed for the present day dense construction. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) defines IPD as “a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures, and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all project participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction”. (AIA California Council, 2007) Becerik-Ghassemi and Gerber (2011) state that the parameters that differentiate IPD from traditional project delivery methods are:
a. It is a single contract signed by multiple parties
b. There is an early involvement of key participants
c. The awards and risks are shared between parties
d. There is liability waivers among key participants
e. The project goals are jointly developed
Asmar et al. (2013) found that IPD has been gaining recognition due to the various benefits it offers to the architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) industry and that much research has not been done to gauge the performance of IPD projects in contrast with other project delivery systems such as design-bid-build, design-build and construction management at risk systems. The metrics that are used to analyze the performance of IPD according to Mollaoglu-Korkmaz, Swarup and Riley (2011) are cost, quality, schedule performance, and owners perception of post-occupancy performance)

    Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities in order to meet project requirements (PMBOK Guide, 2008). Using this definition, it is made evident that the parties involved in the Denver International Airport (DIA) Baggage System project in the 1990’s failed at applying basic organizational practices towards managing the triple constraint of scope, time, and cost goals. The combination of inherent risks, uncertainties, and dysfunctional decision making geared the project towards disappointment while simultaneously designating it as a text book example of what not do when taking on a complex project. By looking at the key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats we can pull together a basic plan of action that would have set the DIA’s baggage handling system as a marvel model of rapid automation.

    Commonly, the level of control retained by the owner links with the level of risk, and those levels typically have an transposed relationship to the risk and control levels of the contractor (CMAA, 2012). Not all of these delivery methods is suited for every project. For each situation, there will be advantages and disadvantages in the use of any specific method. One needs to carefully assess the specific project requirements, goals, and potential challenges in order to establish the delivery method that offers the best opportunity for success (CMAA, 2012).

  • Project Delivery System

    1673 Words  | 4 Pages

    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. In recent history, the predominant delivery system for construction projects has separated the design and construction portions of the project, but several others are used as well. A number of studies have been performed which have attempted to quantify the relative benefits of each approach. Some useful results have been obtained, but overall the results have been inconclusive. The selection of a delivery system depends upon a number of factors including the general project requirements, the experience level of the owner, budget, time constraints and many others. Careful selection of a delivery system that best suits the project is perhaps the most important decision an owner will make on a project. The extra attention and effort put into the initial phases of the project can yield a smoother, faster, safer and ultimately more profitable result.

  • The Power of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

    876 Words  | 2 Pages

    When starting construction on a new building, there are plenty of things that can and will go wrong.  You will start to lay out the plumbing and find that it clashes with a wall or beam that cannot be moved.  To finish your project, you must take more time and more money to adjust to the new layout.  Another scenario is the owners won’t let you start construction because they can’t see the end result or where the specific design implements that had asked for are located.  For the past few decades the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has been looking for a solution to this problem.  Projects would be set back due to design oversights.  Without anything to predict these problems before they happen, these little setbacks were a common occurrence.  Once building information modeling (BIM) was born, it was like their prayers had been answered. The future was here.

    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 building design, integrated building design and so on. In this report IPD will be the nomenclature used throughout for consistency sake. This report covers briefly the background of BIM, IPD, how it is implemented, and reviews its advantages and disadvantages focusing more on the strengths and limitations of IPD in terms of Reducing Errors, Providing Greater Cost Certainty and Improving program duration. The last portion of the report identifies some of general solutions to obstacles to IPD implementation.

  • Reflection On Project Risk Management

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    This paper will reflect on the different uses of Project Risk Management and ways in which it can benefit organizations to have the ability to identify potential problems prior to the problem occurring. Risk, this is not something to be taken lightly whilst dealing with matters that include high end projects meeting specific details, deadlines and expectations for the end client. Project risk management teaches one to be aggressive early on in the phases of planning and implementing the tools for a project. This is usually easier as costs are less and the turnaround time to solve the issues at that present moment is beneficial rather than later. The result in a successful project for one’s self and other key people involved in the process is also another requirement. Stakeholder satisfaction is important because the
