INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD)

Forget the usual construction headaches. At Green Construction, we’re transforming how projects are delivered with integrated project delivery, a comprehensive process that eliminates frustrating contracts, miscommunications, and costly surprises. It is a team-based approach where everyone works toward a shared outcome. One contract aligns our goals with yours. We tackle risks together for smoother problem-solving.

By collaborating from day one, and by using smart technology, we ensure your project remains on track and achieves outstanding results:

• Multi-Party Contract: Instead of separate contracts between the owner, designer, and general contractor, IPD uses a single contract that binds all core participants (owner, architect, contractor, key subcontractors). This aligns incentives and goals for everyone involved.
• Shared Risk and Reward: IPD promotes a shared risk and reward model. If the project is completed under budget, all parties benefit. If it goes over budget, everyone shares the burden. This encourages collaboration and problem-solving instead of finger-pointing.
• Early Collaboration: The IPD method brings everyone together from the initial design stages, unlike traditional processes where designers and contractors often work in silos. Our process encourages better communication and allows experts from different disciplines to provide input throughout the project.
• Focus on Lean Principles: IPD often incorporates Lean construction principles to eliminate waste, improve communication, and optimize workflows. This leads to greater efficiency and cost savings.
• Technology Integration: Building information modeling (BIM) and other advanced technologies are often used in IPD projects to streamline collaboration, visualize potential issues early, and improve overall project coordination.

IPD from Green Construction delivers the predictability you need, and ensures a construction project void of budget overruns and frustrating delays. With our team at the helm, we focus on efficiency and shared problem-solving to make your project goals a reality—saving you time, money, and stress:

• Improved Cost and Schedule Predictability: By sharing risk and rewards, and focusing on efficiency, IPD increases the chances of projects being delivered on time and within budget.
• Reduced Waste: Early collaboration, Lean construction principles, and technology help minimize material waste, rework, and delays.
• Enhanced Communication and Problem-Solving: IPD creates a collaborative environment, reducing conflicts and improving decision-making.
• Better Design Integration With Construction: With contractors involved early in the process, design decisions can be optimized for constructability and practicality. This can lead to more efficient use of concrete and materials and better overall outcomes.
• Increased Innovation: Open collaboration in IPD projects encourages innovative solutions, new technologies, and creative approaches to construction problems.

IPD offers significant advantages to any project, and is particularly beneficial for projects that have:

• Complexity: Projects with complex designs, multiple stakeholders, and tight timelines benefit from improved coordination and collaboration in IPD.
• High-Risk: When projects involve significant risk or uncertainty, the shared risk model of IPD can help manage and mitigate those risks together.
• Need for Innovation or Early Cost Estimates: If the project requires innovative solutions or determining accurate costs early in the process, IPD’s collaborative approach is beneficial.
