Why LEAN Construction Matters
LEAN Construction isn’t just another construction delivery method, it should be the ONLY construction delivery process used… LEAN MATTERS!
There is simply no excuse for only 20-25% of all construction projects to be on-time, built per owner requirements, on-budget, and without any legal disputes.
LEAN construction delivery methods, such as Integrated Project Delivery, for major new construction, and Job Order Contracting, for repair, renovation, and minor new construction CONSISTENTLY ENABLE 90%+ OF ALL PROJECTS TO BE COMPLETED ON-TIME, ON-BUDGET, AND TO EVERYONE’S SATISFACTION.
Consider for a moment that 80% of the cost of any building goes into ongoing operations, repair, renovations, etc. Imagine the efficiencies to be gained if LEAN were used to address these requirements. First, life-cycle costs would drop dramatically. Second, the impact upon building users, would also have a positive and significant impact upon organizational mission.
It’s beyond time that real property owners put aside traditional construction methods and demonstrated their leadership to the benefit of their organizations and the community.
