Full Description

Integrated Project Delivery is an ever-growing project delivery approach which integrates people, systems, business structures and practices into a process that collaboratively harnesses the talents and insights of all participants. This paper will focus on one of the key internal processes: Decision Matrices (DM) within the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model and how it was applied on one of the largest IPD projects in Canada (Canadian Nuclear Laboratories campus) to achieve the ultimate objective of optimizing the project results that increases value to the owner, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency through all phases of design, fabrication, and construction. It will highlight the advantages observed by engaging all partners for key project decisions and exploring the benefits of utilizing certain design opportunities discovered as the project progressed. The paper will also briefly talk about different challenges with this process and how it impacts the project. Specifically, this paper will discuss 2 different Decision Matrices and dive deeper into the process and analysis which resulted in a positive impact for the overall project both financially and in terms of energy efficiency. The Decision Matrix process was conducted through different phases in the project and the impacts were assessed based on several different project values such as Stakeholder Satisfaction, Design Excellence, Maintenance and Operation, Innovation, Schedule, Budget, Quality and Safety among others. The discussion in the decision matrices is about passive load reduction strategy by incorporating unique architectural design elements and Heating Plant Reconfiguration. The outcome of these decision matrices will be shared and the measurable impact on the project will be explained.
