Brennan, M D (2011) Integrated project delivery: A normative model for value creation in complex military medical projects. PhD thesis, University of Illinois, USA.
Abstract
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is a collaborative project delivery process that reduces waste and maximizes value creation by harnessing the expertise and experience of all relevant stakeholders throughout the design and construction process of a given project. The owner, designer, builder, and user integrate people, systems, business structures and practices into a project team to optimize collective value creation while maintaining balance of individual benefits. The research utilizes a Delphi survey method to (1) select and assess the relative importance of critical success factors for value-creation, and (2) use the selected factors as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of three project delivery methods: Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery. Key concepts for the theoretical framework of the research include: a macro-viewpoint understanding of project delivery must be adopted to define and measure value-creation; a significant relationship exists between project goals and value-creation; perceptions of relative importance and success differ within the stakeholder groups, and Integrated Project Delivery logically provides a normative model to optimize the collaborative processes to account for the different stakeholder perceptions and provide maximum benefit of all. The research and Delphi panel of experts is centered on the U.S. Army's Integrated Design-Bid-Build (IDBB) pilot-projects which for the first time test Integrated Project Delivery on a large scale within Military Construction (MILCON) program.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
