Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IPD (Integrated Project Delivery) is a collaborative approach that involves all major parties in a construction project, including the owner, architect, engineers, general contractor, and key subcontractors. The goal is to work together from the beginning to ensure the entire project is delivered on time and within budget. While IPD may affect cost or schedule, its main focus is collaboration and communication among all entities involved. Control over the schedule or cost is not the main goal of IPD. Therefore, option A, C, and D are not correct.
