“…Participants A, C, G, H, and K also acknowledged India's "partial acceptance" of IPD for large-scale infrastructure projects. These findings might be attributed to increased project complexity and a desire for world-class sustainable infrastructure (Ahmed and El-Sayegh, 2021, MOF, 2021, Mesa et al, 2016.…”

“…According to Ahmed and El-Sayegh (2021), The term "delivery method" refers to the process of assigning responsibilities to the different stakeholders involved in a project in order to provide a framework for the whole design, procurement, and construction process. In addition, Loulakis (2000) defines a project delivery method as "a process by which the components of design and construction including the roles and responsibilities, sequence of activities, cost of materials, and labour are combined to deliver a project."…”

“…The construction industry is vital to every country's economy. Its contribution is highly contingent on the timely and effective completion of construction projects (Ahmed and El-Sayegh, 2021). Construction projects need a substantial investment of money, time, and resources -these are limited and must be used wisely (Pal and Nassarudin, 2020).…”

“…Moreover, the construction environment is changing as sustainable and green buildings become more popular. As the construction industry grows and knowledge of the negative impacts of construction activities on the environment increases, project managers are under enormous pressure to steer their projects toward sustainable growth by adopting more effective environmental management measures (Ahmed and El-Sayegh, 2021). As a result, in order to satisfy the demands of the current construction business, improving project delivery methodologies, selection criteria, and models have become increasingly important.…”

Alternative project delivery approaches have been proposed to overcome the inefficiencies of conventional delivery methods such as design-bid-build. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has recently emerged as a feasible substitute to traditional project delivery approaches. Despite widespread awareness of the benefits of IPD in integration with information and communication technology (ICT) to enhance the delivery of construction projects, IPD implementation has so far been sluggish in developing countries such as India. The feasibility of implementing IPD approach and applying its principles is investigated in this study. It assesses the maturity of delivery techniques, and the potential benefits and limitations of using IPD for infrastructure projects in developing countries, using India as a case study. This study has been carried out using an in-depth investigation of the literature in combination with a qualitative method involving interviews with ten highly experienced BIM professionals from the Indian AEC sector. The findings of this study have revealed that adopting integrated project delivery while leveraging the BIM process in conjunction with ICT has the potential to effectively deliver mega infrastructure projects in developing countries. The resistance to change, lack of experience and skills, and lack of awareness among project owners are recognized as the primary obstacles to IPD adoption. The main benefits for practice following adoption could include enhanced project delivery, more effective coordination among stakeholders, and greater transparency with cost and time savings through all stages of the project. It is recommended that the regulatory bodies establish governing standards and frameworks, amend regulations to accept IPD concepts, and upskill the workforce through training and knowledge transfer for its successful adoption. One novel aspect of this study may be recognized since most previous research has focused on limitations, benefits, and adoption frameworks for IPD whereas there has been no definitive study on the practicality of IPD combined with BIM and the use of ICT for successful infrastructure project delivery in developing countries. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by serving as an exemplary paper for future studies on the adoption of BIM and ICT approaches such as cloud computing, blockchain, IoT, and mixed realities to deliver projects with integrated project delivery. Furthermore, it provides a deeper understanding of the future of this delivery approach in developing nations.

Collaborative Interorganizational Relationships in a Project-Based Industry

et al. 2021

The project-based construction industry finds itself in a paradoxical situation: while it weighs heavily in the world economy, it does have a history of low productivity. One important issue that plagues the industry is related to the challenges that stem from collaborative efforts (or lack thereof) between actors. The objective of this paper is to explore how actors of the construction industry organize their inter-firm relationships while examining the characteristics of such interactions and the elements affecting them (drivers, barriers, facilitators, outcomes). These interactions and elements were uncovered using a systematic literature review. A qualitative content analysis was carried out to categorize these elements and to generate dimensions describing the forms. The 139 articles retrieved depicted 12 relational forms established between construction companies (in descending order of citation): partnering, alliancing, project delivery methods, supply chain integration, joint ventures, integrated project delivery, joint risk management, collaborative design, contingent collaboration, quasi-fixed network, resource sharing, and collaborative planning. A multitude of drivers, barriers, facilitators, and outcomes were found. An analysis of the results led to the conceptualization of a multidimensional profile, which allows for a practical and flexible identification of the relationship form potential partners in the construction sector intend to establish. To provide guidelines for the implementation of this profile, a three-step framework was developed.
