Integrated Project Delivery

Sherrick Construction Services

At Sherrick, we believe Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is an innovative way to excel our construction management by reducing waste, cutting costs and improving productivity. The Integrated Project Delivery main goal is to create a team effort integrating owner, architects, engineers, managers and subcontractors. Unlike other project efforts, the Integrated Project Delivery creates a unique bond from day one of the planning stages, binding all key players for the project development.

Steps to Integrated Project Delivery

The following are the steps that Sherrick takes Integrated Project Delivery:

Conceptualization

The construction and design team participates in a brainstorming session selecting key factors and making important decisions. This will create a predictable less-complicated process, with the main goal set to reduce errors and minimize re-design problems.

Collaborative Design

All evaluations from stage one must be incorporated in the design process. Sustainability goals will be set and construction code regulations will be incorporated into the design process. Planning a project carefully with the Integrated Project Delivery will reduce waste and produce potential savings to all participants.

Implementation

After a careful design process, the implementation of the project starts with computer modeling and design data analysis. All proposed systems must be analyzed and virtually tested to ensure, that design performance will be achieved.

Construction

After all three previous steps are carefully completed, the construction of the project can start. The Construction phase is where the benefits of the integrated model are realized. The project will normally run smoothly, without delays, reducing design conflicts, extra works, change orders, waste, and will be completed on time and within budget.

Operation

Initial goals are achieved, reducing operational costs, rental or maintenance costs and will provide great benefits for surrounding neighbors.
