Impact of Lean Construction Techniques (Implementation on Mixed Used Building) Huda Riaz

The traditional practices have not been successful to deliver projects timely and with-in budget completion. That's the reason, more than 90 % of projects gets over budgeted or completely uncontrolled. This reason is enough to question the conservative industry and consider what possibilities there might be in the future to solve these problems. Thus, new methods like "Lean Construction" have been developed in recent years to overcome these problems. Lean construction focusses on the reduction of waste and effectiveness of time and cost of projects. Many developed countries have adopted lean construction techniques to overcome the planning and waste management issues. Pakistan has not yet planned to shift to lean construction techniques. So, this study focusses on identification of appropriate lean tools for construction industry of Pakistan and their implementation on existing project along with their benefits in construction management system.
