Application of BIM with IPD in Design for a Construction Project

Abstract

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a new delivery system that fosters integration of combining design and construction in a collaborative team environment. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a smart technological tool that make significant advancements in coordinating the planning and construction processes. IPD process with BIM technology allows all building data to maintain in a communicating platform that make all participants share data. In reality, some technical and process obstacles exist, that are hampering full implementation of IPD with BIM in the project. The paper introduced the application of IPD with BIM on the design in a project. The results showed the impact of BIM implementation on IPD mode which can result in improved productivity, better coordination, reduced energy consumption, clash and rework of construction.
