Letter to the Editor: Major Shifts Needed for Integrated Project Delivery
Thanks for the great article on Lean and IPD (ENR 6/15 p. 8). It’s very helpful for the design and construction community to have a thoughtful piece for discussion. You did a fine job of capturing the state of play and challenges and opportunities that IPD affords. We believe that more collaborative models of project delivery are going to enhance owner and supply-chain satisfaction and increase positive outcomes on projects over time.
