On behalf of the Lean Construction Ireland (LCi) Community of Practice Steering Group, we are delighted to invite you to the upcoming Lean Practitioners CoP Meeting, taking place in:
Dublin on 24th June 2025 – in association with Ardmac
Time: 9:00am – 11:30am
Format: In-person event
Interactive workshop
Light refreshments included
Event Focus
The Cost of Quality (CoQ) is often hidden, yet it represents a major source of waste, inefficiency, and risk in construction. From rework and overprocessing to delays and customer dissatisfaction, quality issues silently erode project value and trust.
This session will go beyond theory to offer real-world strategies for:
- Understanding the scope of CoQ in construction
- Recognising where quality issues arise across the project lifecycle
- Identifying root causes of failure in design, delivery, and handover
- Sharing practical examples and lessons learned from across the industry
You will hear from respected voices in construction and quality management, including:
- Dr. Olivia McDermott, University of Galway
“Quantifying the Cost of Quality in Construction” – uncovering hidden waste and enabling better decisions through awareness and data - Suzanna Dobrescu, Ardmac
Case Study: Embedding quality through Lean at a leading international construction company - Dr Derek Sinnott LCi Executive
Insights on how LCi is supporting sector-wide quality improvement and Lean integration
These session is designed to foster collaborative learning, peer-to-peer exchange, and practical problem-solving within the LCi network.
