Abstract
The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) has revolutionized the field of construction management by offering improved collaboration, enhanced project efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. BIM provides a comprehensive digital representation of a construction project, allowing for real-time collaboration among stakeholders, while IPD fosters a culture of shared risk and reward. This paper explores the synergy between these two technologies and how their integration provides a competitive advantage within the construction industry. Through the application of System Dynamics (SD), this research analyzes the impact of BIM and IPD on project outcomes and overall construction management efficiency. The results demonstrate that this integration significantly improves construction timelines, reduces costs, and increases stakeholder satisfaction. Ultimately, this study highlights BIM and IPD as key technological innovations driving progress in the construction management field. The construction industry is undergoing a transformative shift with the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). This paper explores how the combination of these innovative methodologies enhances collaboration, streamlines project workflows, and improves overall project outcomes. By leveraging BIM's digital representation of physical and functional characteristics alongside IPD's collaborative contractual arrangements, stakeholders can achieve greater transparency, reduced risks, and optimized resource management. The synergy between BIM and IPD fosters a more integrated and efficient construction process, ultimately leading to higher quality, faster delivery, and cost savings.
