Integral Project Delivery (IPD) is a construction project delivery method that integrates: people, systems, business structures, and practices; in a process that collaborates with the talents and perceptions of all participants to optimize project results, increase owner value, reduce waste, and maximize efficiency throughout all phases of design, manufacturing, and construction.

IPD principles can be applied to a variety of contractual arrangements, and IPD teams can include members far beyond the basic triad of owner, architect, and builder. In all cases, comprehensive projects are uniquely distinguished by the highly effective collaboration between owner, architect, and builder, starting from planning and continuing through construction, operation, and maintenance.
