Abstract

In this paper, different types of traditional project delivery methods in the construction industry were explored and a comparative analysis against Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) were performed. The advantages of IPD method for all parties, owner/engineer/architect/general contractor, were explored by reviewing the most recent literature. The literature suggests that IPD method should be the dominating project delivery method and diluting the conventional methods such as Design-Bid-Build due to more collaborative and mutually beneficial ways of doing construction; IPD is newer and a more comprehensive method to capture the intrinsic values of project collaboration. This paper presents a comparison of the commonly used methods of project delivery, Design-bid-build, CMAR, & Design-Build and addresses their advantages and disadvantages in differing project scopes and sizes. Several industry leaders with experience in the four types of project delivery addressed were surveyed. The survey results show an overwhelming desire for future projects to go toward IPD from the contractor/owner/RDP. The biggest obstacle facing a project from using IPD appears to be trust.
