Integrated Construction Projects – Better together!

About

An increasing complexity of building projects requires new skill sets and a deeper understanding of the relationships of the project participants on various levels in the construction industry. In addition to traditional contractual project execution models like design and built or design-bid-built suffer on various levels in terms of time, cost, and quality (user requirements and satisfaction) for large scale and complex construction projects. Thus, the integrated project organization and execution models raised within the last years in Germany.

This course will provide you a deeper understanding of the integrated project organization and execution models with a focus on integrated project delivery methods like partnering, IPD or Alliancing. The provided tools and techniques will enrich your options to consultant clients and to set up planning and constructions projects in a more efficient and suitable way.

The course will be a balanced mixture of theoretical basic information combined with the application in specific case study situations.
