Integrated Project Delivery Perception and Application in Washington State
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is fast becoming a part of the common vernacular in the construction industry. IPD is a collaborative approach to project delivery that requires a change from the traditional non-cooperative mindset that historically has been pervasive throughout the construction industry. For decades, project team members (i.e., owners, contractors, subcontractors, designers, and other project participants) rarely cooperated, which further ingrained a siloed structure and non-cooperative spirit among project team members. Recently, many of these members have begun to consider alternative, newer contractual means to avoid the more traditional, less cooperative delivery methods that too often engaged project members against each other. As a more recent form of project delivery, IPD is structured to distribute risk and reward equally among all parties, thus incentivizing each to cooperate to maximize their efficiency, mitigate risks, and avoid disputes or legal action. This paper aims to identify the constructors’ exposure to IPD and review the breadth and depth of IPD's application in Washington State. Through survey results distributed to several construction constituents, it was determined that the level of exposure and application of IPD in Washington State was mixed. In contrast, the level of IPD understanding among those surveyed was minimal, and IPD's application is limited to just a few projects.
