Project Management Table of Contents

The assignment content discusses the concept of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) as approaches to improve project management and outcomes. IPD is a collaborative approach that integrates people, processes, and technology to deliver projects efficiently and effectively. BIM is a digital representation of physical structures and infrastructure, which can be used for design, construction, and maintenance. The report highlights the benefits and challenges of implementing IPD and BIM in industries, including reducing waste, improving communication, and enhancing project planning.

INTRODUCTION
The report is providing a conceptual information about the Integrated Project Delivery
(IPD) which helps an individual to manage their functioning and operations that are to be place
strategical action plan for overcoming the values and set of desired objectives.
PROBLEM 1
a.
The process of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is stated as a kind of approach that
incorporates people, schemes, business structures, methods and practices with an aim to combine
and gain support from them. It helps the team to address new talent among all the members in
order to reduce the level of waste and generate better direction of optimizing efficiency at all
phases (Lin, Chang and Su, 2016).
b.
Fundamental Principles of IPD process
 To gain mutual respect from all the aspects of the team by integrating and collaborating
the members.
 It helps in developing mutual benefits and more participation among the team members.
 It directs the efforts of the team members in determining the set of early goals for the
business.
 It focuses on enhancing better communication network by creating openness, straight
relations and honest behaviour.
 To clearly defining and implementing open standards and policy framework.
 To adopt appropriate and advance form or kind of technology.
 It determines and promotes employees to give high performance (Azhar, 2011).
 To follow effective style and traits of leadership.

knowledge based systems, 3D-4D
presentation, IPD/JOC software.
d.
Barriers for implementation of IPD to the industry Legislative: The high range of policies and regulatory framework can impact the process
of applying the IPD to the industry.
 Financial: To adopt the IPD process in the business, the company has to gather high
amount of capital and funds (Glick, and Guggemos, 2009).
PROBLEM 2
a.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a set of functions which collaboratively helps
the process of involving the people and management team in a digital format and representations
of corporal and functional characteristics of places. It is beneficial in developing project
planning, designing and pre constructing the project phases on the basis of advance features and
technological aspects that are prevailing in the sector.
b.
Challenges for BIM
 To maintain the schedule and ensure project quality with partial and organized design
 To minimize risk and rework involved in the project.
 To eliminate data interoperability issues.
 The need of innovative design for computing the data (Azhar, 2011).
2

 To develop a well structured practical strategies for the purposive exchange of values and
integration of meaningful information
c.
BIM tools and their functions Architectural design: Its main function is to design the base model of the construction
which is to be developed in future aspect. Structural tools: This aims on addressing the factors that build up the structure of the
project on the basis of which the individuals can divide and assign the work to the staff
members.
 Analytical tools: It gives an opportunity to the individuals to analysis the entire situation
and overcome the values by determining the aspects for preparing the projects.
d.
Considering both the approaches i.e. IPD and BIM, it is evaluated that IPD is giving the
source of developing the business in wider aspect. The concept of using IPD is highly beneficial
and productive for the individual adopting the approach. Thus, it is recommended to utilise the
IPD approach for attaining better form of results (Glick and Guggemos, 2009).
CONCLUSION
From the report, it has been articulated that the IPD and BIM are one among the most
significant and systematic approaches present in the market for developing better values and
structuring the projects.
