Lean Construction – Benefits and Challenges of Lean in Design

Peter Lonergan, Technical Manager at Ardmac will present the benefits and challenges of implementing a lean in design approach. In his presentation he looks at ways in which Ardmac have created added value for customers through: • Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) • Shortened delivery times • Reduced variations • Increased transparency • Early value engineering • Cost effect solutions. As well as an increase in shared responsibilities demonstrated as some of the benefits from ECI. Peter will also discuss how to avoid some of the potential challenges by using the ECI model.
