Lean Construction

Streamline Success with Lean Construction

Construction managers and owners know that incorporating Lean construction principles has numerous tangible benefits, including reducing waste, improving safety and increasing overall quality. According to some studies, Lean construction projects are three times more likely to be completed earlier and two times more likely to be delivered under budget. Granger Construction is an industry leader in collaborative project delivery methods and Lean construction principles. We continually pursue innovative solutions for customers, driven by experience and results.

Lean Construction Tools

Visual Phasing Plans

To improve communication and increase efficiency and transparency, Granger teams utilize visual tools to demonstrate the flow of large program elements for specific phases of each project. Work components are organized to represent the sequence of activities and their relationships to other work on the project to facilitate design handoffs and milestone planning.

Milestone Schedules

To establish critical benchmarks, we utilize scheduling tools to create visual timelines that communicate project goals in big-picture and short-term tasks and the metrics required to meet critical dates towards completion.

Pull Planning

To optimize communication and coordination between trades, we utilize Last Planner pull planning techniques in advance of each project phase.

Make Ready Planning

To ensure construction site work efficiency, we collaborate with project teams to define specific work content for tasks and identify and eliminate roadblocks weekly.

Daily Huddles

To manage daily expectations and increase accountability, collaboration and communication, we utilize daily 15-minute on-site meetings with our teams and trade partners.
