Muianga, Elisa Atália Daniel (2018) Evolutionary model for IPD implementation in construction projects with little diffusion of collaborative practices. PhD thesis, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil.
Abstract
Design-Bid-Build (DBB) is a traditional delivery methods most applied in civil construction industry. However, DBB is rated as main barriers to improve project delivery. Nowadays, projects are complex and uncertain, and the production requires paradigm shifts to achieve successful outcomes. In fact, the frequent foster of DBB does not allow the early stakeholders¿ collaboration and pre-construction services, and does not provide an efficient management structure to overcome all project needs. For this reason, several studies have specified IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) as an innovate approach which fetch all parties together in a collaborative project process, aiming to align goals and mutual interests to provide in the same time the best value for owner and all stakeholders. Thereby, IPD-ish emerges as an opportunity to innovate the construction, with purpose to promote significative changes on project process management in several regions, which apply frequently DBB. Thus, the research aims to develop a conceptual evolutionary model and guidelines for IPD implementation in construction projects with little diffusion of collaborative practices. The design science approach has been selected as the principal research method. Design science approach has been applied to analyses and identify practical problems to provide conceptual and practical solutions. In the sequence, it was carried out an interactive process between researchers and professionals to develop guidelines to adequate IPD model for construction sector. The results envision insights and benefits, which could be reached through integration and collaboration, and demonstrate strategies to effective IPD principles in construction projects with little diffusion of collaborative practices.

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
