Seminar on Integrated Practice and Integrated Project Delivery
Monday, 03/17/2008, 9:00am–5:30pm
In response to owner demands for a more efficient and predictable process for designing and constructing buildings, and the wider implementation of advanced technologies such as BIM, integrated practice and integrated project delivery are processes that can improve collaboration among the design and construction team, reduce risk, and take advantage of team members’ knowledge earlier in the process. Through lectures, case studies, and group assignments, this seminar will consider various aspects of Integrated Practice and Integrated Project Delivery and how it may influence firm strategy & culture.
