How can we Indigenize IPD for better design and construction outcomes?
The Indigenized IPD Guidebook places Indigenous values at the heart of the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) process to make the collaborative delivery method culturally aligned and accessible for Indigenous-led projects and teams.
Conventional building projects often run over budget and behind schedule while creating silos and power imbalances. IPD offers a better way, aligning with Indigenous ways of being and doing by emphasizing collective decision making, mutual respect, and shared responsibility—with the results to match.
This guidebook introduces the concepts and methods of IPD and how it supports Indigenous communities in embedding their cultural values throughout every phase of design and construction. It's a tool for creating spaces and processes that reflect and uphold Indigenous traditions, support community well-being, and deliver successful outcomes for projects and communities.
Transform your next project with Indigenized IPD.
