IPD: Collaboration for Shared Goals and Outcomes

Strictly representing the owner’s interest, Tellepsen creates seamless teams with the client’s project team and architectural firm to ensure there are no surprises on the job and the best talent and resources of each partner are brought to bear on the client’s behalf.

Through integrated teams and leadership acting as the owner representative, Tellepsen organizes its project teams to reduce waste, inefficiency and errors. We model — and require — transparency and timeliness in the team’s communication, operating from a strict "no surprises" policy.

Early, Deep Involvement in the Process Benefits Building Owners

Involvement of the entire project team at the project’s earliest conceptual stages allows Tellepsen clients to benefit from real-world, in-the-field experience and knowledge of supply-demand issues likely to impact project goals. A well-orchestrated team provides the client:

• A flatter organizational team where roles and deliverables are clearly understood
• Fewer redundancies of effort, which strips unnecessary cost from the client project
• A unified commitment to the project purpose and unique goals
• A shared set of expectations
• A thorough understanding of the project’s history and challenges
• A shared process for building the team structure, which advances compliance with agreements and protocols
• Greater creativity and problem-solving by diverse talents and skill sets
