The IPD model involves a single, multi-party agreement between the owner, the builder, and the architect with all stakeholders sharing risks and rewards under one integrated contract.
Incising refers to the process of making shallow cuts or grooves in a material, such as concrete or wood, to create a pattern or facilitate further treatment. In construction, incising is often used to enhance the bonding of materials, improve the appearance of surfaces, or prepare substrates for additional layers or finishes.
When pressure-treating lumber, shallow cuts are incised into the wood's surface to allow the preservative to penetrate more deeply, enhancing its durability and resistance to decay.
