This is the first integrated project delivery (IPD) project in Alberta to be funded with public money. The work was undertaken by the same partners that collaborated on the St. Joseph High School and allowed us to achieve maximum gains from preconstruction activities.
St. Gregory has challenging site conditions and our team relied on virtual design and building information modelling (BIM) technology to asses all design options and mitigate costs. We were able to align on IPD values; work within budget constraints; offer greater flexibility, cost certainty; and real time decision making.
The project was completed $443,827 under budget and delivered to the Red Deer Catholic Regional School in time for the 2017 school year.
