Right now, the construction industry is abuzz with talk about how integrated project delivery (IPD) principles are enhancing each project phase (plan, design, fabricate, assemble, and operate). But many still have questions about IPD—how does it work? Is it good for all types of projects? What are the challenges and the benefits?

Recently, Constructech magazine and NCS Radio reached out to Balfour Beatty Construction’s Mark Konchar, corporate vice president of national integration, to better understand IPD and what it means for our industry.
