Integrated Project Delivery 

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants to optimize project results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction.

 IPD principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements and IPD teams can include members well beyond the basic triad of owner, architect, and contractor.  In all cases, integrated projects are uniquely distinguished by highly effective collaboration among the owner, the prime designer, and the prime constructor, commencing at early design and continuing through to project handover.

 What is IPD?

 The AIACC continues to move forward as an advocate for Integrated Project Delivery. Visit the “tools and resources” section of this site to learn more about IPD and join thousands of owners, contractors, engineers and architects in undertaking this new project delivery method.
