Implementation of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) using Building Information Modeling (BIM)

One of the major challenges that the construction industry facing is how to improve the effectiveness and performance of construction projects which become more dynamic and uncertain. For this reason, more projects are adopting lean principles which focus on collaboration and work flow reliability. Due to the limitations of other project delivery methods such as Design-bid-build including competitive bidding strategy and fixed price contracts, an innovative project delivery, so called integrated project delivery (IPD) has been adopted by project owners. The building information Modeling (BIM) is act as key for successful implementation of IPD. In this paper, the researchers discuss about advantages of IPD and BIM over the current state of project delivery. The research is expected to provide a practical view on the opportunities and challenges in applying IPD to construction projects.
