Abstract

Construction projects are complex that the creation of value cannot only be carried out by a company; for this reason, temporary contracts are created between construction companies, designers, and owners. However, these contractual relationships are difficult when the interests and needs of each company are contrasted with those of the project and generate problems of collaboration between the parties. The present study describes the implementation of project integration practices such as co-location and integrated teams in a building project in Lima, Peru. The ideas proposed resulted in savings for the project. The study details the ideas by discipline and the achievements obtained.
