Abstract

Question: What are the Integrated Project Delivery Implementation challenges in
construction projects, their interrelationships and their effects on the project time,
cost and quality?
Purpose: The Purpose of this study is applying an efficient method to determine the most
important challenges to IPD implementation in construction industry, and also to
evaluate the interrelationships among these challenges and their effects on the
project time, cost, and quality.
Research Method: This study models available Integrated Project Delivery challenges using
a real case data, through applying Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping technique.
Findings: Results show that contractual factors have the major influence compared with
others. This shows the significance of paying attention to why project stakeholders
must be integrated throughout the project life cycle since early contract
documentation stage.
Limitations/Implications: This study is limited to the case selected from Tehran of Iran.
Value for authors: This study is significant due to identifying, classifying and determining
the intensity of effects of IPD implementation challenges on cost, time, and quality
of construction projects. It results in planning, resolving the challenges, enhancing
the quality of constructions and lastly saving the construction cost and time.
