Integrated Project Delivery™
If the construction industry is to make significant improvements in the end-to-end design and construction process designers and constructors have to collaborate more closely with the client so that the product design and the production process evolve together.
Designers are not constructors so they are often unaware when they make decisions that affect the production process (such as construction logistics).
If constructors have a clear understanding of the design concept they can help designers achieve it at minimum cost to the client. The later in the process that constructors are involved the more costly it is to make changes.
What can TCB do?
-
work with client/designers on the design of the design process -
agree with the parties when to involve constructors
-
help identify additional opportunities that flow from changes in the process
-
facilitate the process
-
implement a short-term planning system to manage commitments in the design process
Integrated Project Delivery is a trademark of the Lean Construction Institute
-
continual improvement works throughout the design process
