IPD/BIM

IPD/BIM

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a highly effective method for delivering complex projects. Harnessing the knowledge and skill of the entire design and construction team, IPD overcomes many of the dysfunctions documented by the Construction Users Roundtable, the World Economic Forum, McKinsey Global Institute and others. Our attorneys were at the inception of IPD, helping draft the American Institute of Architects, California Council’s ground breaking IPD: A Working Definition (2007 and 2016 update), the American Institute of Architects’ IPD Guide and the definitive text, Integrating Project Delivery published by Wiley in 2017. In addition, we have served as advisory or steering committee members for IPD research projects and white papers.

Although IPD is characterized as a project delivery method, it is most often used in conjunction with Lean principles and processes and utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM). This is another area were we have taken the lead working with the National Institute of Building Sciences on BIM standards, serving on NBIMS sub-committees, and presenting and participating in Lean Construction Institute programs.

We are proud of our leadership in disciplines that can transform the AEC industry, delivering better value to project sponsors, stakeholders, and the design and construction team.
