Integrated delivery

There can be elements of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) with standard contracts, says one speaker at the Canadian Construction Association's (CCA) 95th annual conference.

“You can have your standard contract but you can behave differently... you can do all sorts of integrated things and never have an integrated agreement,” said Dave Hagan, director of process development for The Boldt Company.

He said adopting elements of IPD requires some courage.

“You have to have this willingness to have these really courageous conversations and trust that you’re not going to get thrown off the bus for raising your voice,” he said.
