- Abstract
The article discusses the application of integrated building design (IBD) and integrated project delivery (IPD) methods and building information modeling (BIM) in team contracts. According to International Code Council's Dave Conver, the construction of contracts by using IBD, IPD and BIM offer benefits such as more effective designs, clash detection, enhanced scheduling, automated plan checking and e-permitting. IBD and IPD approaches are said to require contracts that are unifying, cooperative and complementary agreements for effective collaboration and communication. Also, BIM can be used in the analysis of disastrous events such as fires and high winds that are modeled on Web-based and desktop applications that can help teams in delivering better buildings.
