Welcome to the homepage of the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) group. Our group's research focuses on the processes that support how infrastructure management activities are planned, executed, and delivered. These activities are always related to key transition challenges in the built environment, such as climate change, resilience, the circular economy, digitisation and skilled labour shortages.
Our research work combines expertise and insights from various fields, including construction management, public administration, transition studies, and systems engineering. We use an integrative approach to tackle the complexity and uncertainty of infrastructure development. Through participatory methods, we collaborate closely with practitioners in our research. Doing so, our research delivers action perspectives and practical tools for the industry while generating internationally recognised research output.
In both our research and educational activities, we work closely together with the Market Dynamics (MD) group (formerly the groups comprised the cluster of Construction Management and Engineering, CME). Together with MD, we still develop and execute the CME education profile of the civil engineering master’s programme. Moreover, there are several cross-overs and collaborations in research and education with the broader CEM department and the BMS and ITC faculties.
