Integrating Design and Construction using the VDC Framework
Many projects struggle with innovation because they approach it through a siloed perspective. Some projects are great at contech, BIM, or lean. Very few projects have a means of integrating all these great ideas together.
If you want to improve project performance, focus on improving information flow
Information is the lifeblood of all project delivery. You can’t effectively work as a team to deliver a complex project without good, reliable, and accurate information.
Lean and BIM Synergy at the Construction Phase
Lean Construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) are important change and transformation drivers in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.
Using Lean BIM to Mistake-Proof Furniture Procurement
The parametric nature of BIM paired with standardization of work processes could allow a design practice to leverage BIM and lean thinking to enhance a supplemental service line such as furniture specification and procurement.
Builders - We Can Do Better
Project Managers hate rework. Owners hate rework. I assumed that everyone involved with a project hated rework but if that were the case then why is there so much of it?
How 4D scheduling creates synergies between BIM and Lean
With new tools come new methods. There are numerous examples of this when it comes to Lean Construction and BIM, where new BIM tools require new processes that very often encompass several lean principles.
Implementing Lean to Improve BIM Processes
Virtual construction is becoming an essential part of any construction projects. Even in low-level BIM maturity projects building developers are demanding BIM in the design and construction phase.
Lean and BIM Synergy in Practice – A General Overview
Exchange of Dies, refers to a method in the Lean Production System that is used for quick, simplified and efficient production set-up and changeover from one product/process to another, which often constitute the major causes of production downtime.
Enabling Lean Design with Management of Model Maturity
Model Maturity Index (MMI) is a framework designed to describe the model progression in the BIM, using a series of levels increasing in maturity as the design process progresses towards a finalized design.
LeanBIM: Unleash BIM Possibilities and Make Lean Construction Even Leaner
The main goal of implementing Lean Construction is to generate value and to minimize waste. This value can be maximized by implementing BIM alongside with Lean Construction.
Top Ten Synergies between Lean Construction and BIM
Lean Construction and Building Information Modelling (BIM) are important transformation drivers for the construction industry. Recent research shows that there are considerable synergies between the two.
Using Heat Maps To Determine Workspace in Construction
The construction job sites are highly dynamic and chaotic environment for both workers and management. To ensure efficient task performances, workspace is a key resource on construction sites.
6 Ways to Go Lean and Beat the Competition with Construction Technology
The Lean Movement is gaining popularity in the construction world, and with good reason–it's about cutting out waste and increasing value-added activities. Who wouldn't want that?
Productivity Monitoring Of Construction Activities Using Digital Technologies
According to a McKinsey report [1], construction is one of the biggest industries in the world, being responsible for 13% of the global Gross Domestic Product, and yet, even when outside of crises, it does not perform well.
Top Benefits of Integrating Lean Construction with BIM
The Lean Movement is gaining popularity in the construction world, and with good reason–it's about cutting out waste and increasing value-added activities. Who wouldn't want that?
The Effects of BIM and Lean Construction on Design Management Practices
Modern construction processes, such as building information modeling (BIM) and lean construction, can help to combat these common issues and make the entire construction process more efficient.
Lean Beyond Hard Hats: Expanding Efficiency with Data-Driven Practices
Lean construction has transformed project management, emphasizing collaboration, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. But what if Lean's impact could extend beyond construction teams?
Lean Digital Project Delivery: Supporting Construction Efficiency through VDC
Lean Digital Project Delivery makes construction projects more efficient by turning data into useful information. This process keeps data organized and ensures that important information is available when needed, matching the project timeline.
Emerging Digital Tools for Visual Management in Lean Construction
Lean manufacturing principles emphasize visual management as a means of improving productivity, identifying problems, and encouraging continuous improvement in construction sites. Traditionally, visual management has relied on manual tools such as a whiteboard, charts, and posters.
Better use of Data makes better Managers
One Wall Street CEO claimed, “That today’s businesses are drowning in data.” Managers have more data than ever before and more powerful computers to crunch the data, but they still lack the ability to turn the measures into meaningful actions.
