Lean Construction Management (LCM) applies the successful principle of lean management to construction projects and building sites. The construction itself and the delivery or building process should be planned including all those involved, aiming at maximizing value, reducing lead times while reducing waste in complex projects.
The focus is on the whole projects and not on just speeding up individual steps or reducing individual costs, that might lead to increased costs elsewhere and on stimulating a long term scope and creating a partnership with those involved. Besides control of processes, LCM also focuses on optimization of site logistics, as long as the LCM principle is to evaluate the project from the end to the beginning, so it will always start from the final delivery of the project and approach the final stages to start.
