#1 IPD isn’t new, it has around for decades. It is the lack of real property owner leadership and competency that has limited its use. As a result, facilities repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction remains inefficient.
#2 LEAN Job Order Contracting is IPD for repair, renovation, and maintenance, and and minor new construction. It consistently delivers quality projection on-time and on-budget when implemented and managed properly.
#3 Lastly, BIM is simply a technology tool. It is integrated LEAN construction planning, procurement, and project delivery that drives significant improvement in outcomes.

Actually you are incorrect. BIM is not a technology tool it is a Process. When you understand this it is so much easier to comprehend the benefits of BIM.
BIM is a technology….. and while it also is a model… and a process, the process component does NOT incorporate integrated planning, procurement, and project delivery.
Thus, if you wish to label BIM a process, you must limit the process element vary narrowly.
As to my understanding of BIM….. I was on the NBIMS3.0 Planning committee, and Chair of the Terminology Committee….
The point being I fully understand BIM.
