Best Practices for Integrated Project Delivery |
|
Integrated Project Delivery is on everyone's lips these days, and is quickly becoming the new buzzword in the AEC industry. Deeply collaborative delivery processes backed by appropriate legal frameworks do not only make financial sense, but is also a great path to sustainable design and buildings. This is because both IPD and the LEED certification process promotes early stake holder participation.
If you are wondering how you can get started on IPD, you are not alone. Not many IPD projects have been completed in the USA, but the ones that have, returned spectacular results. Fortunately, even if you are not planning a full IPD project with appropriate legal contracts, the work-style that it promotes can be directly applied to what is called "IPDish" projects eg. projects that place an emphasis on collaboration. For example, design-build projects exhibit many positive aspects of IPD.
To get started, we invite you to take a look at a white paper on Best Practices for Integrated Project Delivery. |

Feb 17, 2009—Burlingame, California.
Kalexo today announced the availability of Kalexo Teamwork, the first Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) Platform for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and other project-intensive industries.
Integrated project delivery is a deeply collaborative process leveraging the talents and insights of all participants in design & construction through the best collaboration technologies. “At a practical level, most firms are challenged to integrate best-of-breed tools to enable the Integrated Practice, and it is an expensive proposition” says Kalexo CEO, Dr. Hannes Marais. “Kalexo’s Integrated Project Delivery Platform seamlessly combines advanced task management with communication tools such as file sharing, online meetings & video chat for a complete software-as-a-service solution.”

Integrated Project Delivery - More than BIM ! |
|
When you think of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), do you automatically think of Building Information Modeling (BIM) ? If so, you should keep in mind that projects are built by people, and not CAD tools. Even the best people make mistakes, forget things, or might not know what is important in a specific situation. Your BIM information model might be cool and save you money, but it is only is as good as folks that work on it.
