Collaborative delivery models are gaining popularity in the Canadian construction industry, and some are pushing for them to become the new norm. While this may be a positive development, it’s important not to blindly follow, as some projects are simply not suited for these contracts. This session will teach you the key features of these models and the factors to critically consider when deciding if they’re the right fit for your project. Topics of discussion include:

• Understanding the core features of the IPD, Alliance, and PDB models
• Contrasting the collaborative models with the traditional, non-collaborative models
• Analyzing which projects are right for a collaborative delivery model and delineating the factors that parties must consider when making this decision
• Comparing Canadian IPD trends to other countries and lessons learned
