An integrated project delivery method is arguably required in order to achieve desired quality, satisfaction, timing, and cost for over 90% of renovation, repair, or new construction projects executed. A detailed, full transparent line item construction cost estimate is critical for improving collaboration and reducing change orders. .

While a project’s ultimate goal is a successful completion, the steps it takes to get there are critical to profits and project’s life cycle. During this process, consider how much wiggle room is available for change orders, most likely an inevitable occurrence once a project is underway and can be costly if not well planned.

The most widely used are Integrated Project Delivery – IPD, and Job Order Contracting – JOC. While both IPD and JOC provide established and clear benefits versus design-bid-build – DBB, design-build – DB, and other construction delivery methods, their consistent usage and application has been relatively limited.
