Understand the five phases of a BIM-enabled IPD workflowAnalyse the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders at each phaseEvaluate the benefits and challenges of implementing IPD in real-world projectsConnect Autodesk tools to specific project tasks and outcomes
Break into small groups.Assign each group a stakeholder role (Architect, Engineer, Contractor, Owner, Facility Manager).Ask them to identify:Their key contributions in each phaseThe BIM tools they would useHow they would collaborate with other roles
How does early involvement of key participants reduce project risks?What are the advantages and potential pitfalls of shared risk and reward?In what ways can open information sharing be both a strength and a vulnerability?How might multi-party agreements change the traditional client–contractor relationship?
Present a hypothetical FABE project (e.g., designing a new faculty building).Ask:How would you apply IPD principles?Which BIM tools would you prioritise?How would you ensure collaboration across all phases?
Clearly articulate the value of IPD with BIMRecognise the interdependence of stakeholdersUnderstand how technology supports collaborationBe able to apply concepts to academic or real-world projects
Discussion
🗣️ Discussion Topic
"Maximising Collaboration and Efficiency in Construction Projects through Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and BIM"
🎯 Objectives
📚 Discussion Flow
1. Warm-Up (5–10 mins)
Prompt:
“Looking at the five phases — Conceptualization, Design, Implementation Docs, Construction, and Own/Operate — which phase do you think has the biggest impact on the overall project success, and why?”
Encourage students to share quick opinions before diving deeper.
2. Stakeholder Mapping (10–15 mins)
Activity:
3. Keys to IPD – Critical Analysis (15 mins)
Discussion Questions:
4. Technology in Action (10 mins)
Prompt:
“The infographic lists tools like Revit®, Navisworks®, BIM 360®, and Civil 3D®. Which of these have you used or seen in action, and how do they change the way teams work together?”
Encourage students to connect software capabilities to real project scenarios.
5. Real-World Application (15 mins)
Case Scenario:
6. Wrap-Up & Reflection (5 mins)
Prompt:
“If FABE were to adopt a full IPD+BIM approach for all its projects, what cultural or procedural changes would be needed in our workflows?”
