| Abstract: |
| Relatively stagnant productivity and waste have made construction projects vulnerable to cost and time overrun, and sustainability issues, which can likely be addressed by using Lean Construction (LC) to remove inefficiencies and wasteful practices. The outcome of this research would help construction industry in reducing waste, improving productivity and duly meeting the goals of sustainability. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Construction industry has always been prone to wastes. Pakistan is already short of natural resources and construction wastes aggravates this problem. A lot of efforts have been done in Pakistan to control the projects but unfortunately the problem remains the same. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Clients and contractors would be needing it the most because they have to control their economy as well as meet their business objectives effectively. Complete construction sector and industry in Pakistan would benefit by using the outcome of this study. |
| How will the solution works |
| The outcome of this study will provide a workable solution for implementing LC. By removing some of the complexities and perception of LC among the construction industry. Comparing the practices done in the best projects with the relatively average project would provide a confident solution to the construction industry. Moreover, a questionnaire survey will further augment the implementation process of LC in Pakistan's construction industry. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Conventional construction project management opposes LC. It differs in terms of creating an environment of better coordination, minimizing wastes, better sustainability, lesser overall cost and time, better quality, optimum utilization of resources etc. from end user’s point of view. |
