Abstract

As a way to reduce the conflictual relationships between the parties involved in construction projects, the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has been emerging as a promising method to avoid some of the traditional inefficiencies of traditional contracting systems and maximize construction project success. However, IPD is struggling to spread in the industry and there is still the need to understand the value that it can unlock. To this end, a survey is proposed to explore the main benefits and open issues that practitioners face when using the IPD to deliver construction projects. The study reveals that initial high cost, contractual hardships, and complexity of implementation of IPD are the main reasons behind not adopting IPD, while shorter schedules, cost savings, better quality, and increased productivity are some of the main benefits derived from IPD adoption.
