benefits for owners & clients

using lean principles in the design phase:

• supports the creation of an integrated & constructable design that delivers the value you want
• helps reduce the unnecessary iterations
• keeps options open to the last responsible moment

using lean and last planner in the construction phase:

• will usually reduce the construction phase by around 20%
• ensures that the construction team arrive on site prepared to do the work and ready to work together
• gets the team to sort many issues out before they arrive on site
• enables the team to replan more quickly when they encounter the unexpected

using lean in design and construction with early constructor involvement adds support for:

• a more thorough and better thought through design
• the design and construction team to work together to maximise end-user value with safer, greener, easier, cheaper, faster construction method while minimising cost (Target Value Design)
• compressing the design and construction period - often by 30% or more
