Abstract
“Design changes” is the main cause of construction delay and cost overrun. This problem also produces a multitude of other negative impacts, such as low morale, quality discrepancies, and legal disputes. While some changes in design in construction projects are inevitable, they should be mitigated as much as possible. There are a lot of good practices that have been employed by practitioners to mitigate the effects of design changes on project cost and time control. However, in construction design, no single protocol is used to manage design changes.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) was developed in the mid – 1990s. With the benefits in waste reduction, collaboration of participants and positive value propositions, today, design and construction teams are joining forces across the world to utilize the IPD system. Based on an integrated team composed of key project participants, guided by the Target Value Design process, and moving design decisions upstream as far as possible, IPD provides an approach for effectively mitigating design changes.
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibility of applying IPD into Vietnam construction projects. In particular, the possible problems and potential solutions for transferring IPD originally developed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) into construction practice in Vietnam will be presented.
