Readiness Assessment for Implementation of Integrated Project Delivery (Ipd) in Industrialised Building System (Ibs) Projects

Abstract

The Malaysian government has taken the initiative of implementing Industrialised Building System (IBS) in which components are manufactured in mass production under a controlled environment (on or off site), transported, positioned and assembled into a structure with minimal additional site works. It is hope that IBS can improve the performance of construction industry. However, the main barriers in IBS implementation is project delivery process. In order to overcome this barrier, ‘Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)’ as a project delivery system using a multi-party contract (more than two parties selected) was introduced. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is defined as a project delivery approach that integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all project participants to optimise the results, increase value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication and construction. Although, many researchers have argue the importance of IPD in project delivery process, but the readiness of construction industries must be established. This research will use a quantitative study. This quantitative research process will involve a few phases including literature review stage, data collection stage, framework development stage, validation and recommendation stage. As the aim of this research is to obtain data based on multidisciplinary IBS stakeholders’ perspectives, respondent include project managers, resident engineers, and architects, contractors etc. are among the potential candidates. At the end of the process, this research will develops the readiness assessment model to implement IPD in IBS construction projects.

A holistic review of off-site construction literature published between 2008 and 2018

“…Among these CSFs to successful completion of OSC, a prominent study is the one on project delivery process and conducted by Osman et al (2015). Integrated project delivery (IPD) was proposed as the approach to overcome the fragmentation in traditional construction .…”

“…5.2.1. Project delivery method IPD has been proposed as an approach to enhance the multi-party collaboration throughout the fabrication, transportation, and construction of off-site projects (Osman et al, 2015). There are needs of further research on how IPD or other fast-track project delivery methods (e.g., Design-Build) could provide the systematic support to the successful implementation of OSC projects.…”

Collaborative Project Delivery Methods: A Scoping Review

“…Ma et al (2018) suggests a collaboration platform for IPD projects to improve the efficiency of IPD collaboration. Osman et al (2015) developed a readiness assessment model to implement in IPD construction projects, followed up with a study to assess how ready the Malaysian construction industry is for IPD (Osman et al, 2017). Bygballe et al (2015) examine implementation and experiences when studying the interplay between formal and informal contracting in five integrated project delivery projects.…”

Communication Key Performance Indicators for Selecting Construction Project Bidders

“…However, project delivery methods are changing and the principles of collaboration and integration are becoming increasingly important in construction projects (Costa and Tavares, 2012). Traditional project practice is being replaced by collaborative approaches, such as integrated project delivery (IPD) (Osman et al, 2015), in which project participants come together as a close team, and the focus is transparency and open communication among all partners (AIA, 2007). Management of multiple partners and the communication and collaboration between them is crucial, to maintain an acceptable balance between their interests (Karlsen, 2002;Yang and Shen, 2014).…”
