Practical Guidelines for Aligning Project Collaborators for Optimal Delivery

Every project can benefit from integration; integration creates synergies that lead to higher performing buildings and happier building users, clients, and project teams. Integrating Project Delivery offers the first comprehensive look at the emergent integrated project delivery (IPD) system. It uses the Simple Framework to organize the essential steps for integration and combines the key structural, process, technology, and behavioral components necessary to drive the behavioral change required to achieve high performance projects.

Detailing the "why" and "how," Integrating Project Delivery helps students and practitioners alike develop a deep understanding of the value of an IPD system to bring stakeholders together early in the planning process to maximize talents and improve project clarity, execution, and, ultimately, success. Written as a guide to using IPD strategically and in daily work, this unique resource includes detailed explanations, discusses legal structures that support the process, and features case studies revealing how leading companies use IPD.

You will learn how to change the way your organization works and delivers projects using:

• Authoritative education on processes developed through industry-funded research at Stanford University's Center for Integrated Facility Engineering
• Practical knowledge gained from all sizes and types of IPD projects
• Real-life examples and advice from owners based on their IPD journeys

Students learn how collaborative projects are organized and executed to prepare them for the industry transition to collaboration. Owners, designers, and builders learn how to use IPD to achieve better value for all participants, together.
