Documentation The Lean Construction Lighthouse Welcome to the Mechanical Contractors Association of America! Agile and Lean Applied to Construction - Agile Software Development for Web and Mobile - Ennova Large scale construction projects suffer from cost and time overruns that are typically a symptom of productivity problems and directly affect overall industry profitability. As a result, methodologies have been developed to reduce the risk of overruns and improve project outcomes. A number of these methods are based upon Lean production principles that focus on identifying value, eliminating waste and creating a smooth flow of materials, information and work. The application of Lean to construction is based upon treating the construction site as a temporary production line and is referred to as Lean Construction. Agile methods have been found to improve the reliability of project delivery in complex environments, by decomposing the scope into small manageable parts, then completing these parts in order of greatest value. Construction Productivity Time and cost overruns in large scale construction are very common. As a result the construction industry is facing declining productivity.
