0 Introduction
There is a growing interest in integrated project delivery (IPD) and the role building information modeling (BIM) can play in promoting integration among building professionals and improving design outcomes. This report reviews the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) method of building design and construction and the main obstacles that are preventing it from being regularly adopted throughout the industry. Within the building industry, IPD is referred to by many names such as whole building design, integrated building design and so on. In this report IPD will be the nomenclature used throughout for consistency sake. This report covers briefly the background of BIM, IPD, how it is implemented, and reviews its advantages and disadvantages focusing more on the strengths and limitations of IPD in terms of Reducing Errors, Providing Greater Cost Certainty and Improving program duration. The last portion of the report identifies some of general solutions to obstacles to IPD implementation.
2.0 IPD and BIM
A major feature of IPD project is the mandated use of BIM under the IPD contracts that have been developed by the AIACC. In theory, this helps to further phase integration in the design and construction process. A project’s BIM platform compliments the project management tools set forth in the IPD documents by enabling collaborative meetings where the model is shared and virtual co-ordination. Detection of uncoordinated elements, trades and services can take place earlier to resolve issues before building components are assembled on site. In IPD BIM is the fundamental platform which enables 3D model integration and data sharing between team members. In the IPD model BIM technologies sit above an intranet which serves as ...

...s business interests of all parties. IPD encourages collaboration throughout the design and construction process, tying stakeholder success to project success, and embodies some certain contractual and behavioral principles. The Contractual Principles are; Key Participants Bound Together as Equals, Collaborative Decision Making, Liability Waivers between Key Participants, Jointly Developed Project Target Criteria, Shared Financial Risk and Reward Based on Project Outcome, Fiscal Transparency between Key Participants and Early Involvement of Key Participants. The Behavioral Principles are; Mutual Respect and Trust, Willingness to Collaborate and Open Communication. (AIA/AIACC, 2010).
In other words, IPD is a construction method in which the design team, owner, and contractor work together to develop a building from the initial concept through handover and operation.

    College football is one of the most exciting sports organizations in the sporting world. Not only is it thrilling on the field, but also off the field as well. This particular sport organization brings in a ton of money that benefits itself, as well as other sports organizations at the college level. There is a huge demand for success for this organization and if the standard of winning is not there, even for a year, anyone working for that particular school may lose their job. A job I aspire to have is being a college football coach. This job is extremely thrilling as well as displeasing compared to any other job in the organization. The spotlight is not only on the players, but also it is on you as a coach. It is very difficult to keep a job in this organization if as a coach you do not produce a winning record. College football may be the best sports organization to work in and also the worst at the same time.

    The establishment of the State of Israel was one of the greatest feats in modern Jewish history. However, with the establishment of the state, a new nation was born. Because of this, there was a lot of writing that would describe how new Jews, and old Jews Interacted with each other. In addition, many Zionist writings were written at the time, and people were writing abut the Ashkenazi and Mizrahi Jews. Each of these topics has a tremendous effect on our generation, because they fueled movements that tried to change the views of the Jewish people. In the Story Dr. Schmidt, by Moshe Shamir we find many instances when the author talks about old and new Jews, Zionism, and how he fills the gap between Ashkenazi and Mizeachi Jews.

    Building Construction procedures involve the erection of various types of structures. The major trend in present-day construction continues away from handcrafting at the building site and toward on-site assembly of even larger, more integrated subassemblies manufactured away from the site. Construction in the United States is the product of a diverse group of subindistries, with many individuals and organizations involved in the construction of a single structure, from the manufacture of necessary components to final assembly. The major elements of a building are as follows: (1) the foundation, which supports the building and provides stability; (2) the structure, which supports all the imposed loads and transmits them to the foundation; (3) the exterior walls, which may or may not be part of the primary supporting structure; (4) the interior partitions, which also may or may not be part of the primary structure; (5) the environmental- control systems, including the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, lighting, and acoustical systems; (6) the vertical transportation systems, including elevators, escalators, and stairways; (7) communications, which may include such subsystems as intercommunications, public address , and closed-circuit television, as well as the more usual telephone wiring systems; and (8) the power, water supply, and waste disposal systems.

  • The Power of Building Information Modeling (BIM)

    876 Words  | 2 Pages

    When starting construction on a new building, there are plenty of things that can and will go wrong.  You will start to lay out the plumbing and find that it clashes with a wall or beam that cannot be moved.  To finish your project, you must take more time and more money to adjust to the new layout.  Another scenario is the owners won’t let you start construction because they can’t see the end result or where the specific design implements that had asked for are located.  For the past few decades the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry has been looking for a solution to this problem.  Projects would be set back due to design oversights.  Without anything to predict these problems before they happen, these little setbacks were a common occurrence.  Once building information modeling (BIM) was born, it was like their prayers had been answered. The future was here.

  • Physical Vs. Financial Aspects Of Development

    825 Words  | 2 Pages

    The physical- financial entity is a balance of two different components working towards the same common goal. Each one has their areas of focus and attributes to contribute to the project. If one has more influence than the other, an imbalance could occur and result in problems with the development and its success. The physical side must work with the architects, engineers, and construction team to create the schematic design and budget possibilities for the project in the predevelopment stage. This will include alternatives and rough preliminary designs. When the development moves over to the document development stage, they become responsible for the construction documents, budgeting, and schedules for the actual construction of the project. The financial side of the development involves the business side of the project. This is where the market and marketability studies will be conducted and various feasibility and investment analysis reports will be submitted. The financial entity of the development will continue to work through the predevelopment and document development stages to put forth the best suited analysis for the market, feasibility, and marketability studies.

    Brooke (1997), explains Estimation as the technical procedure of anticipating the value of the project. Building construction estimation is the process of acquiring the construction value for the whole project before the project starts. Thus, construction attaining process depends hugely on financial management to sustain workability and smooth operations. The delay in construction is a global issue which is due to improper preparation of estimates and lack of drawings (Ajanlekoko, 1987). In accordance to Gkritza (2008), the source of delay in a project are identified to be in the initial stages, like bad quantification, errors in design and ground conditions. Thus, the purpose of a proper estimate is to foretell the cost needed to finish the

  • The Importance of Architectural Engineering

    1217 Words  | 3 Pages

    With the help of architectural engineers, our world has become very civilized and advanced over the past decades. Like all other engineers, architectural engineers use logic and creativity to solve problems. They come up with effective designs to assist people in their everyday tasks. In our daily lives we are surrounded by buildings. Places that were once a dessert are turned into cities that now hold amazing buildings. Houses, schools, shopping centers, offices, apartments, airports, etc. are very essential in our society. These buildings do not only please the eye, but they also provide us with shelter and are made to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, snow storms, and strong winds. Would these buildings still function efficiently and provide us with a stable shelter if it were not for architectural engineers? There are different engineers with each their own expertise, but for buildings in particular, architectural engineers are needed. Architectural engineering, also known as building engineering, is an interdisciplinary program that integrates important knowledge from different disciplines such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering , architecture, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics (“Building Engineering”). An architectural engineering professional has to master all the different disciplines because the design of building systems often requires the application of the disciplines. Architectural engineers are important in today’s society because they possess the knowledge and qualifications to work on complex buildings, lead project teams, and most importantly, to provide us with a safe environment.

    establishing a collaborative relationship between the OD practitioner and the members of the client system. A major component of entering and contracting is to make a good decision about how to carry out the OD process. The contract allows the parties involved to explicitly set the direction of the project and how the process will take place. The OD contract will generally address three key areas: setting mutual expectation or what each party expects to gain from the OD process; the time and resources that will be devoted to it; and the ground rules for working together and the stating of what are the proper roles of all the parties involved including the practitioner.
