IPI, not Pll

摘要

What annoys you most about practising as an architect? Is it that your expertise is so little valued? Is it that you are forced to design hog-tied because you can't consult the people who will eventually deliver your plans? Is it that your designs get butchered during value engineering? Or is it just the sheer volume of waste that goes with team mates intent on limiting their liability? If the answer to any of these is yes then insurance-backed alliancing (IBA) could offer some relief. An old-ish idea enthusiastically endorsed by Constructing Excellence, IBA means bidding on the basis of how well qualified you are, not cost. Everyone is equally exposed to so-called gain and pain share, motivating them to work as a team. The whole team makes joint decisions from day one for the benefit of the project. Everyone has a voice. There is no blame or claims. You design once and only once.
