Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)

AMS Industries throughout its history has worked under just about every contractual relationship possible. We’ve collaborated with owners, A/E firms, general contractors, as well as multiple other subcontractors. We have worked under teaming arrangements, including integrated project delivery (IPD), which require various degrees of collaboration. Many of these relationships have been ones we have maintained throughout the history of our company. We have found most of these efforts to be antiquated, and have taken steps to institute the change our industry needs.

A Better Way to Build

Advancing Collaboration Through IPD

We believe this step change can be made through our Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach to a project. On the next few pages, we will outline this approach. This is not an effort you start when a bid opportunity presents itself. It is an approach you spend time and effort with interested companies to further develop together and allow you to be the team of choice.

A Closer Partnership

Developing Best Practices as One Team

Although we have been working together in various contracting methods in some form of collaboration, the only hope is to take this approach to a more intimate level. We believe in mutually developing project execution methods by disciple or work groups, we can then identify the best practice of all team members and eliminate waste. This reduces our collective cost and drives efficiency. We see the most effective contracting method to be cost plus fee (open book) with incentives.

  • Key participants bound together as equals
  • Shared financial risk-reward based on outcomes
  • Liabilities waivers between key participants
  • Fiscal transparency
  • Early involvement of key participants

From Concept To Commissioning

One Team Across Every Phase Of The Project

We self perform the full lifecycle of the project. No handoffs between separate firms, no gaps in accountability. One specialized group owns the work from the first drawing to the day your team takes the keys.

PHASE 01

Total Development

Strategic planning for project scope and layout, built around how the work actually needs to come together.

PHASE 02

Engineering & Design

Mechanical engineers and CAD designers produce complete, code ready designs tailored to each project.

PHASE 03

Installation

Field supervision and skilled trades fabricate and install the system, backed by our own fabrication facility.

PHASE 04

System Control

Integrated controls tune the process and operational interface for stable, repeatable performance.

PHASE 05

Commissioning & Training

We verify every setpoint, then train your operators so the facility runs safely long after we leave.
