What is digital project delivery?
What is digital project delivery?
Digital project delivery isn't yet another tool. It's an improved, collaborative way of working for building and infrastructure projects—from plan to design to construct to operate. It connects people, data, and workflows across the project lifecycle in a secure common data environment.
Centralizing data ensures that stakeholders can access the right information, in the right format, when they need it. By integrating live, multi-discipline data, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cost, and schedule tracking in a centralized source of truth, teams can design and iterate in parallel and manage projects efficiently while protecting intellectual property, controlling versions, and resolving issues.
This connected, interoperable environment opens the door to automation, multi-discipline workflows, and global connectivity, leading to better quality, greater productivity, and on-time and on-budget delivery.

How digital project delivery is enabled
How digital project delivery is enabled
Digital project delivery connects people, data, and processes in a shared, cloud-based common data environment (CDE), allowing teams to aggregate models and centralize data at every project stage.
Through a CDE, stakeholders can come together to plan, design, construct, and operate projects through the integration of live, multi-discipline data. This helps remove data silos and communication barriers, and means that all team members can access the right information in the right format when they need it.

Today’s building projects are faced with an increasingly disjointed array of tools, files, and suppliers, leading to silos, miscommunication, delays, and avoidable rework.
Too often, data is passed piece by piece, from one person to the next, in many different formats. Information is often lost or miscommunicated along the way.
Enter digital project delivery. Not a tool, but a cloud-based collaboration process that connects people, data, and workflows in a common data environment across the project lifecycle.

Move from siloed to collaborative workflows
Move from siloed to collaborative workflows
Too often in road and highway projects, data starts in a silo and stays in a silo throughout the project, all the way from plan to design to construct to operate. Hundreds—maybe thousands—of models are generated, data is recreated, and files often don't work with each other. This results in inevitable mistakes and costly rework.
With digital project delivery, teams move from siloed to collaborative and connected workflows enabled by a common data environment, which gives every stakeholder access to aggregated models and centralized data at every stage. Watch our video to understand how it works.

Rail projects require the coordination of dozens of different disciplines and stakeholders, and are often overflowing with siloed data, incompatible files, and disconnected designs as a result. Across each project stage, the errors add up, costs overrun, delays grow longer—and the impact on the public grows.
Digital project delivery breaks through these barriers with a common data environment (CDE), coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, improving risk management, and ensuring projects stay on budget and on schedule. Watch our explainer video to find out how you can move from isolated to collaborative and connected workflows with digital project delivery.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Digital Project Delivery is a way of working in which projects are conceived, planned, designed, built, and operated in an interactive, shared space in the cloud. The method integrates multi-disciplinary data, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information System (GIS) data, from multiple applications in a cloud-based common data environment so that all stakeholders can access, including owners, architects, general contractors, engineers, tradespeople, and owners. By unifying teams, workflows, and information, digital project delivery can help you increase efficiency, automate busy work, and improve deliverable quality.
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a contractual method between the owner, general contractor, and designer in which all project stakeholders manage and accept design and construction risk as a team. IPD integrates the team responsible for delivering the project. Digital Project Delivery (DPD) is a way of working together. It unifies data across the entire project lifecycle in a shared, cloud-based common data environment where all stakeholders can collaborate in real time. Digital Project Delivery can be used in support of IPD, but DPD methodology is broader than the contractual nature of IPD.
Digital project delivery can be implemented on practically any design, engineering, or construction project using different project delivery methods. When a project is delivered, the 3D models and documentation can be used to help improve asset maintenance and operations. Digital project delivery tools are not prescriptive, they provide flexibility. You can define your own workflows, data integrations, processes, and documentation to fit the needs of the individual project and contract.
