Total IPD - Your Partner for Process Improvement and Facility Development
What is Total ipd?
Project Delivery is made up of two phases: Development and Execution. Within each phase are multiple progressive stages that help further define the scope, schedule and budget of a project and inform the investment decision.
The marketplace demands capital projects be completed at a rapid pace thus certainty must be gained quickly. There are several project delivery models used today. Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) is the industry standard. At TOTAL IPD we apply an enhanced delivery model that drives increased certainty on an expedited timeline.
HOW IS TOTAL IPD'S MODEL DIFFERENT?
TOTAL IPD provides a proprietary project management overlay to the EPC Model that significantly enhances decision making by quickly initiating and applying the iterative learning that is gained as a project moves through the stages. Utilizing our overlay provides stakeholders important guideposts for where the project is and where it is going, and expedites the timeline to certainty of scope, schedule, and budget.
We believe that TOTAL's project management overlay, which focuses on reducing project unknowns and management complexities, minimizes total installed cost and time more than the EPC model alone.
HOW TOTAL IPD CONTRACTS WITH CLIENTS?
At TOTAL we contract directly with clients---we call this Owner's Team Plus (OT+). TOTAL IPD represents you; and is further responsible for managing all of the project's contracting needs. This simplifies the relationships associated with a project and inherently decreases overall cost and complexity.
The more standard EPC model is typically contracted with multiple vendor/sub-vendor relationships that allow for multiple compounding mark-ups and project inefficiencies. The capital and time being spent on this type of contracting arrangement yields no return benefits to the client.
