Episode Synopsis

Today Ian is going to introduce you to a radical new concept in construction projects, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). This method of project delivery can ensure design integration at an early stage as it brings together throughout the project the major stakeholders, developer, owner and user around a mutual project outcome. With designers and contractors one team is formed to deliver the entire result. Together they will determine project goals, costs, risk sharing, compensation and general responsibilities. KEY TAKEAWAYSThe design team and contractors are brought in for their insights very early. This should also include the Facilities Manager in terms of future operation. Compensation is assigned solely on the contribution of the team member. All information is shared openly and freely with each other party. There is no hierarchy only the team and the benefit of the project. Obstacles can be that there is a a high propensity of software and data incompatibility. Training should be acquired early so as not to cause personnel delay. The industry gets integrated into a single purpose team that creates strategic supply chains relationships that are working off common goals and ideals, shared incentives and risks are managed holistically. BEST MOMENTS‘This develops a culture that is collaborative, harnesses the talents and insights of all parties. This optimises the projects results, increases value to the owner, reduces weight and maximises efficiency.'‘So what we are looking at is the owners intent, the design teams understanding, and the contractors execution all being pulled together in one IPD model.'‘We put profit for both the builder and the designer at risk for failure to perform as a team, with the corresponding reward shared by both if they hit their brief and perform above the standard of care that is being expected of them.'‘Because you've all been together from the very beginning you should be able to mitigate major changes right from the outset particularly if you've garnered a really detailed client requirement as to what they want out the building and facilities etc.' VALUABLE RESOURCEShttps://www.ianjrogers.com/ ABOUT THE HOSTIan Rogers is an entrepreneur running businesses in the Real Estate, Construction and Facilities Management arena. Ian has over 40 years' industry experience, as he was effectively born into construction with his father having his own building company and Ian spending time working on sites from the age of 11!.
