Innovative Procurement in Social Housing Construction – Documenting the First IPD Project in British Columbia
Description While collaboration is not new to the construction industry, it is only recently that a cohesive method of project delivery has been formalized through Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). IPD is an innovative building project procurement strategy that requires early involvement of key participants. Multiple individuals take an interest in the project’s success, share risks and rewards, co-develop project outcomes and share cost savings. In this model, the success of the stakeholders is determined by the success of the project. The process consists of the following five factors: early involvement of key participants, shared risk and reward based on project outcome, joint project control, reduced liability exposure, and jointly developed and validated targets. BC Housing, Vancouver Coastal Health, and the City of Vancouver are working together to deliver the first project in British Columbia through the IPD model. The project studies the impact of the IPD model to deliver the project on time and within budget. Impact The project will develop and advance knowledge and best practices on delivering a project with multiple stakeholders and high-performance building targets using an IPD model.
