“I am on my third multi-million-dollar construction project with Integrated Project Solutions as part of our Construction Management Team. The value of these services during the preconstruction phase has provided more accurate construction documents for bidding and better-defined scope for bid package awards. All of which has resulted in reduction in cost for previously undefined “space” and “system” conflicts that has minimized schedule impacts and ultimately providing a higher quality of work for the client. The value of these services has paid back on multiple fronts and providing a better product for the end users. I would not proceed on any future CMR delivery system without the assistance of Integrated Project Solutions.” 

“We engaged Integrated Project Solutions early on in the project (50% DD) and are thankful that we did. They were able to assist the entire project team in visualizing the entire design, including MEP systems. From this exercise, the design team opted to modify their design to take advantage of the results of this early coordination phase. The resulting changes came with minimal impact to the construction cost or schedule of the project. We will be involving them on every future major project from here forward as they have proven to be a valuable asset.” 

“My goal on any project that we’re involved in is to bring Mike and his team at IPS on as a partner as early in the preconstruction process as possible. The plan and constructability reviews performed by IPS have become an important part of how we coordinate and build. IPS’s modeling experience in combination with their understanding of construction is a resource that our project teams lean on throughout the coordination process. The service that IPS provides is regularly recognized by both our clients and operations staff as something they’re unwilling to work without on their next project. 

Many times, IPS has to perform work that cannot be compensated for until after a contract has been executed between us and the client. Their work helps us land clients.” 

“I’m a seasoned project superintendent whose career has seen the inclusion of BIM into construction and project management since its inception and evolvement from the light table and velum overlay days. As BIM has grown from those early days to the modern present day, I have seen both good and bad examples of BIM modeling and coordination and can easily characterize what makes the difference between effective and non-effective – A thorough knowledge of ALL aspects of building construction and not just the MEPF trades; An ability to effectively communicate with trade subcontractors, owners, design teams, and the project team; and a dogmatic adherence to the project schedule. 

In my first-hand experience with IPS, Mike Furlong and his team has redefined what the BIM effort should be through a relentless pursuit of excellence and extreme ownership to produce the highest quality product possible.”
