IPD relies on early engagement from all stakeholders and improves efficiency. On a traditional project, for example, the design is completed, and the delivery team is procured under separate contracts. With IPD however, collaboration from the onset - between owners, designers and contractors - is central to project success. It allows for earlier identification of potential problems, maximizes value and minimizes overall project risk.

PDB incorporates the benefits of IPD and construction management. Through an integrated validation and preconstruction process, design is completed and the budget is locked in, resulting in detailed pre-planning and an efficient delivery of construction. This collaborative delivery method allows owners more control over the process, while still meeting performance, price, and schedule plans.

Together, we find innovative building solutions. Teams are aligned and work towards a common goal. But, the benefits of collaborative construction don't just end with the project - they spill out into other avenues. Through collaboration, teams can also find ways to give back to the broader community such as sourcing local labour and partnering with vendors that are socially and environmentally responsible.
