The answer to why lean construction matter includes…
- Owner experience, qualifications, and capability
- Magnitude, form, function and complexity of facilities/built environment repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction
- Establishing the project timelines
- Fast-tracking priority requirements
- True financial visibility and transparency
- Measurably improving financial, environmental, and quality outcomes as well as overall satisfaction for participants and stakeholders
Robust tools and services are readily available to support LEAN construction planning, procurement and project delivery.
For example, the OpenBUILD Solution (TM) supports LEAN procedures and components associated with conceptualizing, designing, budgeting, and building. An environment in which projects are organized and put together in a way that results in more on-time, on-budget outcomes. It is a collaborative approach with owner leadership organizing not just a project team, but a PROGRAM team. Relationships based upon value, performance, mutual trust/respect, and shared risk/reward.
