INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY
Westbrook along with several other IPD team members has been instrumental in the formulation and design of what is now known within the construction industry as Integrated Project Delivery™. From its inception to trademark to contract formalization Westbrook has been front and center in developing this leading edge, paradigm shifting process. Today, the construction industry both near and far is embracing this new way of thinking and doing business. Here are some specifics on IPD:

A Collaborative Design Process
What if every member of the design build team shared completely the responsibility for the entire project and set about correcting deficiencies or problems wherever they popped up without regard to who caused the problem or who is going to pay for it? What if all of the construction members were friends looking out for the interest of the Owner and each other, applauding the successes of each other and sharing the pain of each others failures? What if all of the design and construction entities on a project, could be organized in such a way that they all functioned as if they truly were a single company with a single goal and with no competition amongst themselves for profit or recognition? If you could devise such an arrangement, you would have devised Integrated Project Delivery™ as practiced by IPD, Inc. of Orlando Florida.
