LEAN Construction

LEAN enhances construction team performance by fostering trust, cooperation, and teamwork to optimize productivity rates. This approach aims to improve workflow, increase production efficiency, accelerate schedules, reduce costs, and enhance individual accountability—all while maintaining quality standards.

At LEMOINE, we fully embrace the principles of LEAN Construction on all of our projects to identify and minimize waste, interruptions, and inefficiencies in the workflow. Our approach fosters a collaborative team environment that includes the client, Design Team, Trade Partners, and LEMOINE.

Before commencing construction, we initiate the Last Planner® System for reliable production management planning. This process involves creating a master plan and schedule, using the CPM (critical path) method to ensure the project aligns with the targeted timeline. Our team, comprised of the Superintendent, Project Manager, Client Executive, and Estimator, works collaboratively to break down the project into various milestones, spanning from initiation to completion of the work.  We introduce the concept of LEAN Construction to our bidding trades and select project partners based on their understanding and willingness to contribute and collaborate, as well as their overall value proposition.

  • Site and groundwork
  • Structure, enclosure, and rough-in
  • Finishes
