Constructing Excellence

There have been many

Reviews!

Manufacturing = Construction ?

What is Lean?

“getting value to flow by listening to

the voice of the customer then

seeking perfection”

Based on the Toyota Production

System but adapted for

construction

Strong Leadership for

a Continuous Improvement culture

Government Construction Strategy

1. Cost Reduction by 20% during the term of

current parliament

2. “replace adversarial cultures with collaborative

ones”

3. “public sector will become a better client - -

more informed and better co-ordinated when

its requirements are specified, designed and

procured”

4. “Government will require fully collaborative 3D

BIM as a minimum by 2016”

Reasons for Declining Construction

Productivity

• Heavily regulated

• Fragmented nature of

the industry

• Traditional adversarial

culture

• Low investments in R&D

• Slow to adopt new

technology

Traditional v Future Engineering “Concurrent engineering

methodologies permit the

separate tasks of the product

development process to

be carried out simultaneously

rather than sequentially.

Product design, testing,

manufacturing and process

planning through logistics, for

example, are done sideby-

side and interactively.

Potential problems in

fabrication, assembly,

support and quality are

identified and resolved early

in the design process.”

of Integrated Systems in

Concurrent Engineering.”

BIM MATURITY MODEL

The UK construction industry

• It accounts for over 8% of GDP

• Consists of over 300,000 firms employing over

2 million people

• One in 10 people rely on the construction

industry for employment

• Contractors employ 1.68 million people in

UK(2005)

• Under pressure to become more sustainable

and productive
