Abstract

The construction industry has been striving for some time to find efficient ways to ensure the successful delivery of project goals for all project participants and stakeholders, while at the same time improving the quality of collaboration and overall productivity. In addition to the use of collaborative methods and tools, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), developed in the early 2000s, represents an innovative approach to deliver construction projects. Due to the positive results of initial pilot projects, IPD is increasingly attracting international interest. Since 2018, IPD approaches have also been used in pilot projects in Germany. This article presents the current state of research on the development of IPD in Germany and highlights the status of its practical application. Twenty IPD projects in Germany are identified, documented, and analyzed based on various criteria. For the first time, this paper creates transparency on an international level about the five-year development of IPD in Germany. It also provides a basis for more in-depth analysis, particularly regarding the qualitative aspects of the IPD pilot projects carried out in Germany.
