4. Advocating
for Progress
While studies show that alternative delivery systems
routinely result in safer, faster, lower cost and higher
quality projects, the vast majority of projects are still
delivered in the traditional Design-Bid-Build lump
sum manner with the designers and the builders
operating in separate silos and often pitted against
each other. Why? Political expediency! (p. 22)

The American Institute of Architects AIA defines IPD as “a
project delivery approach that integrates people, systems,
business structures, and practices into a process that
collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all
project participants to optimize project results, increase
value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency
through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction”
