Reducing Construction Costs through Integrated Project Delivery in Construction
The construction market is very demanding and the project delivery methods have evolved from the traditional ones to risk-sharing forms, such as IPD (Integrated Project Delivery). In a traditional construction method, each party tries to avoid the risk and transfer it to the other party. It results in losses in the form of project delays and extra costs.
