Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

Messer’s core competency lies in creating long-term business relationships with our clients and stakeholders; every stakeholder counts and every stakeholder matters. As such, the Messer solution is a research-based approach to Integrated Project Delivery, the basis for a breakthrough change in an industry otherwise slowed by infrequent and incremental changes in technology and process.

Benefits of IPD include:

  • Lower costs - 5% or better design and construction savings
  • Change orders are reduced, saving time and money
  • Schedule reductions
  • Quality improvements
  • Well-informed and effective decision making due to the availability of information earlier in the project
  • Less risk due to better information being available during all phases of the project
  • Overall reliable and consistent project results

 

 

Through our direct project experience and our extensive national research study, Messer uses industry best practices within our comprehensive implementation guide to manage Integrated Project Delivery. Our implementation guide details the holistic process for all participants to achieve success including key implementation strategies like:

 

 

  • Lean Planning & Scheduling
  • Integrated Design & Cost Management
  • Supply Chain Management
  • Safety4Site™
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM)

By integrating Lean planning prior to space programming and design, the opportunity is available to substantially save on the long-term costs of owning and occupying a building. Research indicates the vast majority of costs over the useful life of a building often go to operational (85%) and maintenance costs (12%). Messer can incorporate Lean planning into the project delivery process to create long-term efficiencies.
