Introduction:

Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a collaborative approach to construction that involves all key stakeholders working together from the early stages of a project to achieve shared goals. This 5-day training course provides participants with an understanding of IPD principles, strategies, and tools used to deliver projects more efficiently, reduce risks, and improve outcomes. By embracing collaboration, transparency, and accountability, IPD aims to streamline the project lifecycle, optimize resources, and foster innovation. Participants will learn how to implement IPD in their projects and how to build and manage high-performing teams for success.
