Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Partnering For Success in Commercial, Healthcare, and Infrastructure Construction
Public sector clients face increasing pressure to deliver complex construction projects with strict quality, cost, and schedule certainty. You can build the foundation for successful projects using Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). All key stakeholders, including owners, designers, and contractors, form an early alliance in this collaborative project delivery model. They work together as equals with total transparency and a “best-for-the-project” mindset.
IPD represents a true cultural shift in collaboration, not just a new methodology.
Our Consulting Approach: Three Steps to Success
We guide you through the entire project lifecycle, from the initial assessment through to final operation.
Is IPD right for your project?
We systematically analyze whether the IPD model fits your organization and your specific project. We provide a clear basis for decision-making for your boards and stakeholders.
Our Services:
- Comparing relevant procurement models (evaluating IPD against traditional general contractor or design-build models, such as partnering)
- Evaluating models against your strategic project goals
- Analyzing process durations, costs, and necessary organizational structures
- Developing a customized IPD (or "IPD-Light") approach
- Designing the alliance structure and compensation model
- Establishing guidelines for risk-reward models and Common Data Environments (CDE)
- Recommending organizational setups, roles, and governance for management teams (SMT, PMT, PIT)
- Supporting market research and procurement strategies
- Preparing documents for board and committee decisions
Your Benefits:
You secure fast, reliable decisions and a clear roadmap for your project.
We make your alliance perform at its best, from the setup phase through to execution.
We take over comprehensive IPD management and guide you through every project phase. We focus squarely on deliverable quality and team performance.
Our Focus Areas:
- Providing comprehensive IPD management, including coaching for all alliance partners
- Supporting procurement and contract structuring (multi-party agreements)
- Applying lean management for efficient processes and rapid decisions
- Managing costs and risks using Target-Value Design
Our Approach:
We empower your project alliance rather than simply directing it. We help you build a high-performance team that works successfully and autonomously.
We think holistically, offering management and design from a single source.
We also handle design services for the alliance upon request.

Partnering for Project Success
We help state and federal agencies, municipalities, and public owners implement IPD effectively. We deliver results through structured, partnership-driven, and successful collaboration.
"In traditional projects, control is often mistaken for management. In IPA, we turn this around: We empower the alliance to make its best decisions independently – through clear structures, shared goals, and a culture where problems are solved rather than postponed. When this succeeds, something emerges that no contract can enforce: a team that truly shares responsibility."
“Integrated Project Delivery lays the foundation for a new quality of collaboration. Through shared goals, transparent processes, and shared responsibility, projects can be implemented more economically, predictably, and sustainably.”
