Purpose This paper aims to develop an integrated project delivery (IPD) maturity assessment model and test its applicability through the first documented implementation of IPD principles in Chile. The study provides a methodological framework for assessing IPD maturity and a contextual reference for future applications. Design/methodology/approach This study follows a design science research approach to develop a maturity assessment model for IPD implementation. The model was applied to a real-world case study: the “Building K” project at the Federico Santa María Technical University in Chile, evaluating key dimensions of IPD implementation. Findings The model enabled a structured diagnosis of IPD practices, revealing both strengths and critical gaps. High maturity levels were observed in collaborative decision-making (80%) and organization and leadership (80%), while significantly lower scores were found in early stakeholder involvement (28%) and technology use (27%). These findings show an uneven maturity profile, reflecting contextual limitations and the reactive adoption of IPD within a traditionally transactional project environment. Research limitations/implications The model was applied in a single project, limiting the contextual generalization of the findings. However, its application demonstrated the instrument's functionality and clarity. Future research should apply the model across additional projects to further assess its robustness and scalability. Originality/value This paper presents a tool developed to evaluate the level of IPD implementation and documents the first known application of IPD principles in a Chilean construction project, offering insights for research and practice.
