#338 Lean Construction – Systematically avoiding project delays

31 Jul 2025

Description

The BuiltSmart Hub podcast focuses on systematically avoiding project delays in construction through the application of lean construction. It argues that traditional construction processes are inherently prone to delays due to their linear, silo-like organisation and reactive control. In contrast, Lean Construction offers a strategic, systemic approach based on principles such as customer value focus, value stream optimisation, creating flow and the pull principle. The text explains various tools and methods such as the Last Planner® System, takt planning and visual management, and emphasises that the success of Lean Construction depends heavily on management commitment, integration in early project phases and a culture of continuous learning. Finally, recommendations for action are given to anchor Lean Construction as a holistic approach within the company and thus sustainably increase the efficiency and reliability of construction projects.
