Lean Construction - key principles:


  • Deliver what the customer wants
  • Establish Flow
  • Right First Time
  • No Defects
  • No Reworking
  • Drive out waste
  • Involve the whole team
  • Constantly seek better ways of doing things
  • Establish a culture of lean thinking
Involving the whole team in lean construction
Involving everyone on site in lean construction


By involving everyone on site, the architects, the suppliers, and the sub contractors, in the practical implementation of lean principles to build projects, it is possible to improve profitably, win new business, and provide the customer with a better built, higher quality product with less snag problems post hand over. The major determining factor in successful lean implementation is making sure that the whole team on site is involved in the process. Matthew Hunter Associates can help you to ensure that this happens.
