dc.description.abstractIPD is believed to be one of the most prominent movements in addressing the inefficiencies inherent in the Architecture Engineering and Construction Industry. However, there is some reluctance in pursing this system, especially by specialized contractors such as electrical contractors. Therefore, the primary goals of this research were to identify issues and risks for ECs to pursue IPD, and provide recommendations to address those issues and risks. The researcher first sought to gain a better understanding of the ECs point of view, and how it could affect their ability to pursue, and ultimately complete IPD projects successfully. This was largely accomplished by conducting interviews with thirteen ECs—six who had experience with IPD and seven who did not have experience with IPD. Overall, the majority of issues/risks expressed by both sets of interviewees were limited to characteristics of the IPD process itself, or the performance of the other team members. Most of the non-experienced ECs wanted prior favorable knowledge of the other IPD team members as a condition for them to participate in an IPD project. However, these same ECs did not possess the favorable qualities they set as a prerequisite for other team members. Therefore, the recommendations to address their issues/risks involve methods to "prepare" the ECs to be successful with IPD. The experienced ECs also expressed issues with BIM and IPD Agreements, which have been addressed in Chapter 5. This report concludes by offering suggestions for future research. These consist of issues/risks the ECs expressed which were outside the scope of this study.
