IPD Definition

IPD DEFINITION

This website reflects the work of various committees on implementing an Integrated Project Delivery System for construction projects in California and across the country. We felt the first step in the process should be to define an Integrated Project Delivery method that parties from all disciplines could support. A Definition Committee was selected consisting of architects, engineers, contractors, sub-contractors, owners and attorneys. A Working Definition: Integrated Project Delivery was the result of their efforts. The document is considered a work in progress, and the committee invites comments and suggestions. Subsequent committees have been formed to work on multiple issues related to the implementation of an integrated project Delivery System. In an effort to advance the program, the committees are working in parallel. The general areas of focus are:

The work of each of these committees, and expected future committees will be available on this site. In addition, we will attempt to provide additional resource information on the subject. We invite you to send your suggestions to IPD@aiacc.org

The Integrated Project Delivery Task Force is an interdisciplinary group sponsored by McGraw-Hill Construction and The American Institute of Architects , California Council.

The lion’s share of the work of the Definition Group has been completed. The work is reflected in A Working Definition: Integrated Project Delivery. However, the group has an appreciation that the delivery system is developing and that new and better ideas will arise, or are already in place. The attached document is intended to provide a basis for organizations considering implementing an Integrated Project Delivery System, and to stimulate further conversation and work on the subject.
