Integrated project delivery (IPD) with COMAN: efficiency and collaboration in construction
In today's construction industry, efficient and collaborative project delivery is crucial to success
The IPD (integrated project delivery) model has proven to be particularly effective in this regard by involving all key project stakeholders in a joint process from the outset.
How can project management software such as COMAN support this model?
First of all, the basics. What is the IPD model anyway?
What is the IPD model?
The IPD model, also known as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) or Project Alliancing, promotes the early involvement of all key stakeholders - clients, designers and contractors.
A multi-party contract, shared risk/reward model, guaranteed cost reimbursement and extensive waiver of liability are key elements here.
In addition, operational approaches are based on lean principles that increase efficiency and promote a cooperative working culture.
Essential characteristics of the IPD model include:
- Establishment of a multi-party system
- Early involvement of key stakeholders
- Joint risk management
- Joint decision-making
- Incentive system as part of compensation management
- Use of collaborative working methods
- Solution-oriented conflict management
- Cooperative attitude of the participants
