Lean Construction minimizes waste of effort, time, and materials while improving communication, quality, and overall satisfaction. Lean construction is much more than holistic philosophy. It is a robust and detailed framework that successfully integrates people, process, information and technology to maximizing value to all participants and stakeholders – buyers, facilities management, building users, builders, designers…..
Robust, proven LEAN construction delivery methods such as Integrated Project Delivery and Job Order Contracting drive synergistic and continuous improvements through the use of long-term, mutually beneficial multi-parte contractual arrangements and associated written operations manuals and/or execution guides. Typical variance, miscommunications, change orders, and waster associate with traditional construction delivery methods are virtually eliminated through the application of dedicated, highly reliable, yet flexible workflows. Decision-making is enable and supported at the local level (those actually doing the work), while global oversight and leadership is provided by owner and respective service provider program and project managers.
Tools and services are available today to begin the process of eliminating waste, meeting or exceeding all client and service provider requirements, focusing on continuous improvement and best value.
Lean construction delivery truly enables participants to do more and more with less and less.
