Lindsey Pflugrath,attorney at Skellenger Bender, P.S., will introduce the origins of IPD, analyze the principles of IPD and standard IPD contract terms, and compare the advantages of IPD to traditional delivery.
The Unites States Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the construction industry has actually decreased in productivity since 1964, while all other non-farming industries have increased in productivity by over 200%. The Construction Users Roundtable has characterized the inefficiencies experienced in typical construction projects as artifacts of a construction process fraught by lack of cooperation and poor information integration. Owners want more effective construction processes, which result in delivery of projects on time and on budget in a less adversarial environment.
The goal of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is to design, build, and operate as efficiently as possible by investing heavily in the pre-design and design phases of construction, as well as providing a structure for risk and profit sharing for all team members. IPD relies on a collaborative team including the architect, owner, engineers and constructors to share information and expertise as the project is developed. The free flow of information in a no-blame environment reduces later revisions to design documents, reduces inefficiencies, helps to anticipate sequencing and constructability issues, and encourages decisions for the betterment of the project and not individual gain. IPD is based on trust and teamwork, and has been viewed by many in the construction industry with skepticism.
