Description
This presentation will offer a point-counterpoint discussion of an innovative approach to design and construction used on an active project from the owner's perspective with additional insight from the construction project manager. The presenters will identify the strengths and weaknesses of different project delivery methods from a variety of perspectives, review lessons learned from the new project delivery approach used by the Carolinas HealthCare System, and share examples of how building information modeling (BIM) can be optimized to shorten the project schedule and enhance team communications. This session will enable you to:

● Describe ways, as demonstrated in the examples given, to avoid the pitfalls and barriers to success of engaging in integrated project delivery (IPD) as it is commonly practiced.
● Discuss the benefits of combining familiar contracts and relationships with the possibilities offered by incorporating BIM technology into project delivery.
● Define the objectives a project delivery model must meet to be considered successful.
● Apply lessons learned from the examples given to streamline your project schedule and team communications using building information modeling.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Identify objectives of a successful project delivery model.
  • Define the problem. Identify multiple concerns with integrated project delivery (IPD) as currently practiced.
  • Describe benefits of combining familiar contracts and relationships with future state technology utilized in BIM.
  • List pitfalls and barriers of utilizing new design and contracting methodologies.
