assignment will be an essay on lean construction where I will pick a practical example where I will relate it to the construction industry to see how lean can affect the industry and how the industry can benefit from lean. The aim of lean is to remove waste complete where the product is the most valuable. The construction industry is known for wasting material or leaving project uncompleted due to finical or other reason I will analyse the the time and cost of lean seeing how it impact the practical

Relationships among BIM, IPD, and Lean Construction In general, IPD, Lean, or BIM is a particularly new controversial phenomenon in the construction industry that generates many debates and discussions around each component’s advantages and disadvantages, effectiveness, and potential risks (Guerra, 2010).
