Abstract:
Question: Which are the predominant barriers responsible for the reluctance of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry for IPD adoption?
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical challenges faced by stakeholders belonging to the AEC industry for the adoption of IPD to deliver construction projects successfully.
Research Method: Through the literature review, various challenges for IPD adoption were enlisted under various categories. The authors undertook a focus group discussion exercise involving seven professionals representing the various stakeholders of the AEC industry. The comments made by the members were further analyzed to identify the critical challenges in the Indian context.
Findings: Through the focus group’s structured discussion, fourteen critical challenges were identified under the broad categories such as cultural, technological, financial, legal, and others.
Limitations: The research work is limited to finding out the IPD adoption specific barriers and does not provide a solution to the identified barriers.
Implications/Value for practitioners: This paper will help AEC industry stakeholders to understand the critical factors responsible for the reluctance in the adoption of IPD. They can use this information while developing a policy framework to make it more effective.
Keywords: project delivery models, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), procedural challenges, collaborative decision-making, multi-party agreement.
