COLLABORATION
Synthesize work and knowledge across organizations and disciplines
KNOWLEDGE
Gather information that is focused, effective and above all, accessible
PRODUCTIVITY
A smaller, better networked team delivers better results
The pioneers of green building observed early on that the conventional waterfall approach does not work: the standard serial design process rigidly segmented when and what the different parties were expected to contribute, whereas the best ideas can come at anytime from anyone along the chain.
Thus the Integrated Design Process was conceived: get everyone literally and figuratively around the same table and keep them there throughout the design process. This is the essence of contemporary collaboration in both human and technical terms. It is critical to architects and engineers seeking the best green buildings, as well as to owners and asset managers seeking the highest performing green portfolio.
The fragmentation of the property industry works against profits and environmental opportunities. Those who steadfastly tunnel through the barriers of geography, mixed disciplines, separate organizations, and siloed knowledge will come out on top.
iLiv offers tools, processes and technologies that put your entire team on one page no matter what they do, where they are, or who they work for.
