Just released, this new publication, IPD for Public and Private Owners, does a nice job of capturing the current uses of the term, "integrated project delivery (IPD)".
With the terms "integration" and "collaboration" being used almost interchangeably, the publication introduces three typical levels of collaboration. The three levels represent the evolution that owners go through starting with "level one collaboration" or the way many owners have bee ...

For those long time followers, I have been tracking the total revenue by delivery method of the Top 100 CM at-Risk and Top 100 Design-Build firms as reported by Engineering News Record each year along with their annual rankings.
I have updated a chart each year showing how the total of CM at-Risk Revenue compared to the Design-Build Revenue.
I started this to show that though ENR's story headlines kept promoting Design-Build as taking over the world, their own reported numbers disput ...

Research sponsored by Pankow Foundation and DBIA shows that CM at-Risk is the most successful delivery method when measuring the number of projects that met or exceeded the original sustainability goal:
Using the metric of what percentage of projects achieved either their original LEED goal or higher, CM at-Risk was highest at 94% (Design-Build was 82% and Low Bid was 77%) and
Looking at the other way around, measuring the number of projects that came in LOWER than their original est ...

When someone says, "design-build" you have to stop them and ask, "Which Design-Build? Which selection type?"

Here was my original letter to the Editor of ENR:
ENR Editors:
A "new project delivery system"?!
Though I respect and appreciate the creativity and vision that George Heery has brought to our industry and his profession, his ongoing attempt to package Bridging as a "new project delivery s ...
