Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

The new build will take an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach where people, systems, business structures and practices are integrated into a concurrent process, from design to fabrication and construction, in order to maximize efficiency and accelerate schedules. IPD is a relatively new process that takes a values-based approach to construction, assembling key project partners to the table from the start to work simultaneously to design, plan and execute together.
