Researchers conducting the broadest survey to date of multiparty integrated-project-delivery experiences say they did not expect such overwhelmingly positive responses. Most IPD veterans answered in strong support of the risk- and reward-sharing model in areas including project performance, expectations met and repeat use.
"We were surprised by how positive the results were," says Renee Cheng, a professor in the architecture school of the University of Minnesota and co-author of the report, "IPD: Performance, Expectations and Future Use."
