A small plant room is built for a food court renovation project in a shopping mall of a Grade-A commercial building in the golden area in Hong Kong. The project was on hold for 3 months due to the conflicts in between different trades and project stakeholder. And we use #BIM to figure all design & construction issues in 3 weeks.

3. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
• 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. (http://ipd-ca.net/overview/)

A. The traditional single-stage involves the completion of each phase prior to the start of the next phase, often
involving a different organization performing each phase in a non-integrative process
B. The design-build process involves an overlap of development phases leading to a shortened overall schedule
and requires integration between designers and builders
C. A collaborative process involves participation by all key participants as early in the process as possible and
ongoing collaboration.

14. Evolution of IPD to Construction
Once stability is
achieved within the IPD
system, the Digital
Technologies of Built in
Quality and Just in Time
start to put pressure on
the system by
introducing techniques
which ask us to respond
more quickly – Built in
Quality asks us to
respond to concerns
more quickly and Just in
Time asks us to respond
to the Customer more
quickly.
