The objective of this thesis is to explore BIM, IPD and their implementation into a building project contract. The Integrated Delivery Processes is comprised of a collaborative team of Designers, Constructors, and Owners working side by side to create a successful project. BIM has been introduced as a technology into the industry, as a tool that these parties can use for better understanding the project. Through case studies of IPD projects using BIM are observed, it was determined that although BIM was used, one problem faced is the lack of BIM standards included initially in a contract for in an IPD project. There are templates available by the AIA, AGC, and USACE, but they are not all standalone documents. A guideline for the parities to discuss will be introduced as conversation piece that would help segue into what might be included in the contract documents. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my thesis advisor Elbert Speidel of the School of Architecture at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Professor Speidel was the one who introduced me to the subject of BIM during my undergraduate studies. I would also like to thank the rest of my thesis committee Members Professors John Lawson and Margot McDonald of the School of Architecture at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Their input and guidance, helped me discover what I truly wanted this thesis to be about. I would also like to acknowledge the experts who were involved in the interviews for my case study research and contract exploration: Without their knowledge and their readiness to participate, the validation of this thesis could not have been successful. Finally, I must express the greatest gratitude towards my parents and boyfriend for the continuous support throughout the journey of researching and writing this thesis. This accomplishment would not have been possible without them. Thank you.
