Lean Construction strategies started being used in the western parts of USA and Canada before BIM. Lean is, quite like BIM, all about optimizing processes through enhancing cooperation and reducing waste. Today, Lean Construction adoption is even easier, given that BIM sets a favorable context with more collaboration and optimization of project processes. During this presentation, the participants will: - have an introduction to the main principles of Lean, - see how they can be applied to a construction project, - learn some of the tools of Lean Construction, - get an idea how the positive impact of BIM and Lean amplifies when used together.
