“…It ensures better planning and understanding of the project which enhances the quality of design documentation (Ling et al, 2020;Viana et al, 2020;Agbaxode et al, 2020;Ma et al, 2018). It allows for early contribution and sharing of knowledge and expertise at the project planning and design stages which results in a more effective, feasible and constructible design (Viana et al, 2020;Jadidoleslami et al, 2019). It helps in reducing possible reworks at the construction stage (Viana et al, 2020).…”

Purpose The conventional project delivery (CPD) approach has been reported in the literature as the most widely used project delivery method in the construction industry globally compared to other delivery methods. However, researchers and practitioners have argued that the approach, specifically during the production of design documentation under the CPD, lacks certain capabilities that ensure quality and enhance project delivery. Therefore, this study aims to use the Ghanaian construction industry to identify the capabilities required of the CPD in practice, particularly during the production of design documentation. Design/methodology/approach The study design follows a pragmatist philosophy and uses mixed methods based on a deductive approach. Data collection involved a questionnaire survey, followed by semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data analysis used descriptive and inferential statistics, whereas qualitative data analysis used content analysis with the assistance of IBM SPSS and QSR Nvivo 12 Pro. Findings Findings indicate that there should be incentives for producing good design documentation quality; mandatory coordination of design documentation; improving collaboration among designers; and allowing contractors to make input during the design stage. Practical implications The results indicate the need for the identified capabilities to be introduced in the CPD approach to improve design documentation quality. Originality/value This study offers a significant insight into the specific capabilities that are required of the CPD approach in practice particularly, in the production of design documentation

“…The study's methodology adopted is satisfactory. This present methodology is like a study conducted by Jadidoleslami et al (2019), where an interview approach was adopted to collate data that developed a framework to facilitate constructability via focusing on the IPD approach. This research adopted both purposive and snowball sampling techniques.…”

PurposeOver the past years, high waste and inefficiencies in the construction industry may have contributed to many projects failing to meet clients’ expectations. Among the new project delivery mechanisms to tackle this problem is integrated project delivery (IPD). IPD has been proved as a mechanism that increases stakeholders’ collaboration at the early stage and delivers the highest value-for-money projects. In Nigeria, research regarding practitioners in the application of IPD in construction delivery is scarce. Thus, this study aims to investigate the level of awareness, issues hindering the implementation of IPD and proffer solutions to promote the use of IPD in project delivery.Design/methodology/approachQualitative research was adopted. Twenty virtual interviews via Zoom and Whatsapp Videos were used to collect data from the selected participants and analysed via a thematic method. This is because of the unexplored dimension of the issues.FindingsResults show that practitioners are aware of IPD but lax in the application. The emerged issues hindering the adoption and implementation of IPD were grouped into technological, legal, financial and cultural in Nigeria’s context.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is restricted to the relevance and hindrances facing the usage of IPD in the Nigerian built environment. The study proffers solutions to promote the use of IPD in the built environment via a qualitative approach.Practical implicationsThis paper will contribute towards stirring Nigeria’s stakeholders to create an enabling environment within the industry via IPD friendly policies and promote the use of IPD on construction projects.Originality/valueThis paper is one of the few papers that attempted to uncover issues that hinder the use of IPD on construction projects in Nigeria via a qualitative approach.

“…DBB has been described as a delivery method that results in a poor connection between interdependent subsystems, sequential relationship between design and production stages, low efficiency for stakeholders, conflicting goals, difficulty of parties in accomplishing contractual costs, and time requirements (Mesa et al, 2016). Due to the overriding negative bias of DBB and low efficiency to introduce pre-construction services, most key decisions are not considered in the early project stages, and those information gaps become risk factors during the construction stage (Jadidoleslami et al, 2019). For this reason, researchers and AEC practitioners have made considerable efforts to introduce appropriate and collaborative delivery systems, such as IPD, especially for complex projects (Lee et al, 2014).…”

Over the years, construction projects have been developed and delivered through traditional delivery methods. However, traditional delivery methods have been considered ineffective to achieve the real project goals. Integrated and collaborative models, such as Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a delivery method based on relational contracts, has attracted growing interest in both academia and industry, but still scarce in Architecture Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Most prior research emphasized the identification of barriers and challenges to implementing IPD and few studies focused on developing strategies to overcome those constraints. A limited number of studies have addressed how to reap the benefits of IPD in AEC environments where collaboration between stakeholders is poor. This research investigates how to integrate IPD into AEC projects when collaboration is still limited. An “IPD Evolutionary Model” and guidelines for its implementation were developed for applications in such environments. Design Science Research was the research approach adopted in this study to discuss and evaluate the proposed model. The model emphasizes an evolutionary and flexible process for the IPD application in AEC projects. The model postulates the desirable and required IPD elements according to the levels of application difficulty, emphasising stakeholders' readiness for using it and the gradual introduction of IPD in such environments.
