INTEGRATED PROJECT DELIVERY (IPD) PROCESS COACHING

IPD is the most collaborative construction delivery method currently available, and can significantly increase value for Owners while reducing waste and inefficiencies. However, this approach requires early and ongoing commitment from all team members, including Owners, designers, construction managers, key trade partners and other stakeholders. At Granger, we have successfully coached many clients through the IPD process. Our award winning teams have also been recognized as pioneers at successfully implementing IPD within the corrections market.

WORK SCOPE DEVELOPMENT AND BUYOUT COORDINATION

A key challenge teams face in completing capital Justice facilities projects is the limited availability of essential Detention Equipment and Security Electronics Contractors (DECs and SECs). The resulting long production and procurement lead times can significantly impact project schedules and work scope. Granger’s history of experience and long established relationships with top DEC/SEC contractors enables us to provide more accurate scopes, coordination of DEC/SEC systems and assistance with buyout.

MULTI-STATE EXPERIENCE

With offices in Michigan and Ohio, Granger offers consulting services across the United States. We have managed dozens of Justice construction projects, and possess the experience to quickly adapt to markets and requirements in any jurisdiction.
