Jacqui Glass emphasises the importance of integrating academic research with industry needs.

There is a lot of evidence that well-implemented IPD has significant benefits in project management terms i.e.projects get delivered more reliably to scope, cost and time.

While this is an important measure the big prize is in securing the delivery to a wider set of value drivers.. Never a fan of extolling a particular flavour or brand of approach, I am much more interested in the ingredients and the principles of any approach.For me, there are a number of foundations that make IPD valuable: -.Each party does what they are best at and this includes the client.

Having spent many years in projects I realised that our allocation of work is so often skewed by a mode of thinking and processes that ultimately destroys value.We design detailed pipework with a one-stop-shop engineering company only to go through the ignominy of having it completely redesigned by the fabricator with the knowledge of manufacturing and construction.

We allow designers to make educated guesses for design decisions only for subject matter experts to critique and change.

Finding ways to get the right people to do the right work at the right time is the first principle of an integrated approach.. Design is not a linear and regressive process.Understanding reference design:.

Learn about Bryden Wood's unique approach where a centralised, highly optimised core design is developed and then adapted to specific sites and local conditions.This method proves crucial for clients with national or global projects requiring rapid execution..

Efficiency and cost-effectiveness:.Discover how reference design circumvents the need to start from scratch for each project, thereby saving time and reducing costs.
