Investigating the Synergy of Integrated Project Delivery and Building Information Modeling in the Conservation of the Architectural Heritage

Architectural heritage conservation projects are one of the most risky
and complex projects in the construction industry. Many studies have
reported frequent performance failures in terms of time, cost and
quality. To implement a quality management in the conservation
projects and enhance their performance; we propose the adoption of
two emerging and innovative approaches: Integrated Project Delivery
(IPD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM). Through an analysis of
literature review (journals, white papers, norms and standards) on the
subject, a comprehensive qualitative study in theoretical term has
been carried out to define the potential advantages of the synergy
between the BIM and IPD to face conservation issues and constraints
through project lifecycle. Finally, we draw some general conclusions,
summarize the implications for practice and set out recommendations
for further research.
