Integrated Project Delivery

Integrated Project Delivery goes beyond the benefits of other project delivery models that attempt to create more of a culture of collaboration. For example, in Design-Build, the elimination of two parties into one party helps to reduce conflicts. In Integrated Project Delivery, the owner, designer, and contractor enter into one agreement to perform the work, appropriately allocate risks, and agree to collaborate.

Integrated Project Delivery as a delivery method is not currently authorized for public agencies in the State of Washington.

The architectural firm, NBBJ, has put together a PowerPoint presentation describing this methodology in more detail. Please contact me if you would like me to e-mail this to you. In addition, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), has information on their website about Integrated Project Delivery.
