IPI is Growing... FAST!

We are pleased to announce that Alameda County GSA, LAWA, Telge Fastigheter AB, Swinerton Builders, Robin Chiang and Co., and The Allen Group have all joined IPI!

Alameda County General Services Agency
The Alameda County GSA is responsible for the countywide planning and construction of capital building projects for agencies and department staff. In 2008, GSA received multiple accolades for the Juvenile Justice Center, a LEED GOLD Juvenile Detention facility for young women in San Leandro, California. The team used Partnering combined with Design/Build to deliver a $136M, 337,000 sq ft facility that co-located 8 different departments. GSA managed the delivery of the project on budget and ahead of schedule. GSA received multiple awards including the CMAA Northern CA Project of the year for Projects >$20M. GSA is also pleased to announce the upcoming $147M East County Courthouse in Dublin, CA, which will replace the existing leased Gail Schenone Hall of Justice in Pleasanton, CA. The D/B team will be led by 2014 IPI Partnering Champion, Hensel Phelps. Welcome Alameda County GSA!

Los Angeles World Airports
IPI is excited to announce our newest Airport Owner, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). LAWA is in the midst of a multi-billion dollar development program for LAX and just put the finishing touches on the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) which includes new retail, dining, and gate areas at LAX's premier international terminal. Phase 1 of the $1.9B program including the new terminal, opened to the public in September 2013 and was built by Walsh Austin, a joint venture between IPI Member firms, Austin Commercial L.P. and The Walsh Group. LAWA recently participated in the IPI Owner's Roundtable held in May and we are very excited to serve the program's partnering needs!

Telge Fastigheter AB
Telge Fastigheter AB is the real estate company owned by the Södertälje municipality near Stockholm, Sweden. The organization manages and develops commercial real estate and constructs schools, preschools, sport centers, nursing homes and other facilities. Telge Fastigheter has an annual construction budget of roughly $96M USD and were the recipients (along with NCC Construction Sverige AB) of the 2014 IPI Strategic Partnering Achievement Award. The NCC Construction AB and Telge Fastigheter AB Award-winning Strategic Program comprised 22 projects totaling $140M over a 10-year period. Every single project was delivered under the budget estimate and the final buildings are beautiful, sustainable (requiring 30% less than standard for operation), and have helped improve facilities for under-served populations throughout Stockholm. We are so excited to have this International Owner participating in IPI!

Work with Collaborative Partners... Choose IPI FIRST!

As we all know, Collaborative Partnering helps teams overcome the traditional, adversarial model of construction. It is easy for teams to lose trust and fall back into traditional roles. Instead of allowing this to happen on your projects with primes, subs, or JV partners, why not choose highly collaborative partners from the outset by using IPI Members first?
If you are a Member and wish to receive an updated copy of the IPI Member Roster so you can focus on ways to team with IPI Member Organizations, please contact us at (925) 447-9100 or email us at ED@Partneringinstitute.org.
