Construction projects are generally unique and complex, completed in highly uncertain environments, under significant time and schedule constraints.
Businesses are under constant pressure to complete projects faster and at lower cost, yet 70% of construction projects are overdue and over budget. This is partly down to industry fragmentation, lack of trust between key participants, an out-of-date contracting environment, increased regulation and a lack of process innovation.
Little wonder that an increasing number of forward-thinking construction businesses are turning to Lean digital transformation methodologies to reduce costs and inefficiencies, while increasing quality, safety, automation and profitability.
In fact, research by the Lean Construction Institute (LCI) has found that projects with high Lean intensity are three times more likely to be completed ahead of schedule, and two times more likely to be completed under budget.
A Lean digital transformation vastly improves the dynamic between your people, processes, and practices to improve workflow automation and reliability, reduce inventory, and cut costs by staying on schedule. In the construction context, it isn’t about strict control – it’s more about securing realistic opportunities to reduce and manage disruption and variation, whether internal or external. Nor is a Lean digital transformation about re-writing the rules. We simply help you identify and achieve the most valuable improvements, in quantifiable, digital and sustainable ways.
With a laser-sharp focus on delivering demonstrable value to your business, we work alongside your own teams to develop and implement a custom approach to a Lean digital transformation that works for you and the context you operate in. Our goal is to achieve transformation that lasts long after we leave your premises, transforming your people so your people can transform your business. In short, we help you and your people understand how materials, data/information, and people can be used more efficiently to deliver higher quality results, on time and on budget.
