Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) &
Building
Information Modeling (BIM)
In the 21st Century, there has been the development
of a process called Integrated Project Delivery
(IPD). The IPD process is designed to resolve
problems of productivity; budget overruns and
missed scheduling which many in the industry say,
are age old problems that stem from the ensuing
adversarial roles and relationships inherent in
contracting. This construction delivery system
integrates, in a non-linear method, all the participants,
systems and processes while minimizing production
problems. It is a win-win situation for you, the
client, from the conceptualization and design
phases to the implementation and final closeout
phases.
Building Information
Modeling
Along with the IPD method, has been developed
a process of generating and managing the construction
process through a three-dimensional, real-time
dynamic building modeling software called "BIM".
This new software is used to demonstrate the entire
construction life cycle including the processes
of design; project management; sharing of materials
needed for the project; isolation of work processes;
sequences of scheduled events; and cost management.
As this new method is refined, LBM will become
more closely involved with this new construction
process to deliver savings to our clients while
providing the quality, budget and on-time scheduling
as promised.
