1. Executive Summary:
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a method where all stakeholders and members of the
project are involved from the foundation stage. However, clashes and conflicts can still arise
due to lack of co-ordination between architects, engineers, contractors, and owners. This can
lead to delays, cost overruns, safety issue, and coordination issues. Additionally, rework is a
significant problem due to errors, omissions, and misunderstandings. To improve and more
successful completion of projects, participants should share a common data environment,
while the construction phase of design revisions should be accounted of the total construction
cost.
Shared risk and reward are an essential characteristic of IPD, as it involves sharing both the
risk and the reward of the project among the participant members. This can lead to reduced
control over project outcomes, difficulty in assessing the allocation of risk, reduced
motivation of risk management, and potential for unequal risk sharing. Challenge 3:
Construction Planning and Scheduling. Risk sharing is an integral component of the project
lifecycle, as it involves the adoption of collaborative agreements. Consequences of risk
sharing include reduced control over project outcomes, difficulty in assessing the allocation
of risk, reduced motivation of risk management, and potential for unequal risk sharing.
The most important details in this are the challenges of construction planning and scheduling
in IPD projects. Poor planning and scheduling can lead to delays and cost overruns, which can
lead to legal disputes and damage to project reputation. Solutions include using BIM and VR
to detect clashes and reduce the number of clashes and rework during the construction
phase. BIM and VR can provide a visual interface to the architect, engineers and other MEP
agents for future identifying and mitigating the clashes. The study highlighted the potential
of BIM and VR to simulate the construction by mitigating and analysing clashes and resolving
during the construction phase.
Virtual Reality can be used to help contractors and stakeholders visualize the clashes in real
life, human proportion, dimensions, and reworking with them during the project lifecycle.
BIM helps to reduce cost of the project by up to 30% and shortening the project completion
and scheduling by up to 50%, while VR helps to understand the potential design flaws which
can be later resolved during the phase of construction. BIM and VR tools in construction
planning and scheduling have been shown to reduce construction time and cost by identifying
potential design issues, delays and rework during the construction and project lifecycle.
According to Eastman et al. (2011), BIM reduces 7% in timeline and 5% in cost, while VR
reduces 30% of construction time and 10% of cost. VR technology can also detect potential
design faults or conflicts before construction begins, resulting in construction time and cost
savings.

2.1.1 Description:
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a type of method where all the stakeholders and members
of the project are involved from the foundation stage. While IPD aims to identify to enhance
the efficiency of the project delivery, but clashes and conflicts can still arise during the initial
stages of the construction (Erickson, 2018).
Clashes may occur due to lack of co-ordination between architects, engineers, contractors
and owners which can result in hard and soft clashes throughout the lifecycle (Boyer and
Mitropoulos, 2016).
2.1.2 Consequences:
Co-ordination Issue:
Poor communication, conflicting goals, and improper planning among stakeholders and
skilled personnel may cause delays, cost overruns, safety issue, and coordination issues.
(Behzadan,2018).
Multiple stakeholders with personal expertise, aspirations, and interests work towards a sha
ed goal throughout project lifecycle which makes it challenging to achieve an individual goal.
(Hallowell and Gambatese, 2010). For effective communication, stakeholders need a single
platform, frequent meetings, and proactive problem-solving tactics (Hallowell and
Gambatese, 2010).
Rework:
Large and complex construction projects involving multiple parties such as contractors,
suppliers, and crafts, face a significant problem with rework. Errors, omissions, and
misunderstandings frequently result in undesirable outcomes that must be reworked in such
a complex environment where many activities by multiple parties occur simultaneously. Thus,
rework is defined as the effort required to redo a previous incorrect implemented process or
activity (Hegazy, Said and Kassab, 2011).

For improved and more successful completion of projects, participants should share a
common data environment, while the construction phase of design revisions should be
accounted of the total construction cost, resulting in cost overruns and quality issues due to
rework on the single element.
2.1.3 For Instance:
The Computer and Information Science (CIS) building at Northumbria University, Newcastle,
is plagued by numerous hard and soft conflicts, one of which is depicted in Figure 2, which
occurred on the building's first level due to a lack of coordination between the Architect and
MEP agencies. The following issue can be described as a conflict between design and
operability causing Co-ordination, Rework, Increased Cost and Quality Issues.

failure of rework costing the owner more than the desired budget of the project construction
phase.
Reduced Motivation of Risk Management:
The management of risk if allocated to all the parties equally my result in lack of motivation
among the project team members to actively manage and mitigate the risk as there is
negative risk such as clashes shared among the members of the parties (EL Asmar and Abdou,
2019).
Potential For Unequal Risk Sharing:
If the risk in the project lifecycle is not distributed and manged on a regular and proper basis
it may result in lack of motivation among the members of the project due to the feeling of
taking risk which are appropriate amount (Zhai et al., 2020).

5. Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Computer Information and Science (CIS) building has more than 1,500
clashes that need to be resolved through Building Information and modelling (BIM) and
Virtual Reality (VR). For this Integrated Project Deliver project (IPD), the following clashes
have been identified through Navisworks, a BIM-enabled software that helps to create a
common data environment and coordination among architects, engineers, and MEP agencies
to mitigate the risk and rewards among t. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) the following
Clashes between architectural elements and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing
components are a source of difficulty for the project. The implementation of IPD as the
working environment is fraught with difficulties, such as shared risk and rewards, as well as
difficulties in construction planning and scheduling. These difficulties have been
recommended to be solved by the BIM and VR tool, respectively.
The fact that solutions are offered, such as integrating BIM and VR into working
environments, demonstrates that they contribute to the reduction of construction costs and
timelines on a bigger scale, which in turn provides participants in the project lifecycle with the
opportunity to profit from an advantageous position. The foundation phase of the building
process sees significant improvement because of the use of BIM and VR.
A proposal with an estimate of the costs that will be necessary to reduce the risks that have
been identified during the construction phase of the CIS building in Northumbria has been
presented.
Therefore, the use of BIM and VR throughout the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) assists the
stakeholders to have a strong grip over the project construction lifecycle by lowering the risk
and increasing the potential for rewards.
