Practical LEAN construction frameworks involve robust approaches inclusive of multi-level training, detailed workflows, clear responsibilities, and a common data environment (CDE)*.
Examples of practical LEAN construction frameworks are Integrated Project Delivery (if it includes objective, granular, detailed line-time construction task data), Alliance Partnering, and collaborative Job Order Contracting.
While there are multiple philosophies, partial solutions, and a hundreds of so called “LEAN experts”, the simple truth is that less than 1% of projects incorporate all the requisite components of LEAN. Those owners and design-builders who do implement practical LEAN construction frameworks can consistently save 30%-40% vs. their peers and deliver quality projects on-time.

*A “Common Data Environment” (CDE) is a centralized digital platform where all project information related to a construction project is stored and accessible to all team members, allowing for streamlined collaboration and improved decision-making by providing a single source of truth for project data, crucial for efficient facilities lifecycle management workflows and Lean Construction practices.
