Lean Construction Management Perfect Processes. Maximum Added Value

The rapid urbanization pace is making building construction and infrastructure projects demanding and complex. A single project requires coordination among the many different contributors along with careful planning of processes and execution. This often becomes increasingly difficult to manage construction projects to achieve cost, schedule and quality goals.

What are the challenges you are faced with?

  • Uncoordinated planning and construction scheduling
  • Cost and time pressure
  • Late availability of crucial information
  • Risk identification and elimination
  • High demands on safety and sustainability
  • Chaos at the construction site

At Drees & Sommer we ensure that your project goes as planned through Lean Construction (LCM®). It is an efficient way of designing production systems in a construction environment to reduce time, effort, and waste of materials. With LCM® we focus on an integrated project solution that is developed with everyone involved by emphasizing on sequences, dependencies and preliminary work. LCM® brings greater focus on the processes and streamlines them to ensure the smooth running of the procedures on the construction site.

How do you benefit from us?

We are also developing LCM Digital, a new platform for efficient construction-processes using online production planning tools. This allows an exchange of information in realtime, daily progress checks on the building site and a high degree of collaboration, from the planners through to the construction workers. It’s usage speeds up processes by as much as 25% and it closely links virtual and real building sites.

LCM® supports maximizing value during the entire life-cycle of a project: from construction, project maintenance, design, planning, and finally all the way through activation. It facilitates detailed planning with a tool for construction management and as a daily construction schedule for contractors. In our experience, its application increases the productivity of the construction industry.
