Commercial Arrangements That Support IPD and Lean Project Delivery

There are at least five principal forms of contract that support Lean construction

  • Integrated Form of Agreement for Lean Project Delivery (IFoA)(USA) developed around explicit lean construction principles for Sutter Health by their legal counsel, Will Lichtig, and used by various other owners/clients.
  • ConsensusDOCS300 (USA) a derivative of IFoA http://www.consensusdocs.org/
  • AIA C191-2009 Standard Form Multi-Party Agreement for IPD (USA) AIA uses IPD to refer to a new project delivery system. http://www.aia.org/groups/aia/documents/pdf/aias076340.pdf for a list of distributors
  • PPC2000 International (UK) http://www.acarchitects.co.uk/publications.htm
  • Alliancing Agreement (Australia) a new standard form is under development

These papers will be helpful to explain IPD and IFoA http://www.leanconstruction.org/lcj/V2_N1/LCJ_05_003.pdf and http://www.leanconstruction.org/lcj/V2_N1/LCJ_05_008.pdf

Famous quotes containing the words commercial, arrangements, support, lean, project and/or delivery:

    There is every reason to rejoice with those self-styled prophets of commercial disaster, those harbingers of gloom,
    Over the imminent lateness of the denouement that, advancing slowly, never arrives,
    At the same time keeping the door open to a tongue-in-cheek attitude on the part of the perpetrators....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Autonomy means women defining themselves and the values by which they will live, and beginning to think of institutional arrangements which will order their environment in line with their needs.... Autonomy means moving out from a world in which one is born to marginality, to a past without meaning, and a future determined by others—into a world in which one acts and chooses, aware of a meaningful past and free to shape one’s future.
    Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)

    But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.
    Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)

    Well, I always say the law was meant to be interpreted in a lenient manner. And that’s what I try to do, is sometimes I lean to one side of it, sometimes I lean to the other.
    Irving Ravetch (b. 1920)

    Music is so much a part of their daily lives that if an Indian visits another reservation one of the first questions asked on his return is: “What new songs did you learn?”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    There was no speculation so promising, or at the same time so praisworthy, as the United Metropolitan Improved Hot Muffin and Crumpet Baking and Punctual Delivery Company.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
