Innovation
•Bring in novelties.•Finding faster and cheaper ways of doing the
same thing.•Doing something differently or use entirely
different materials.

The UK Construction Industry
• Around £60 Billion/year turnover.• Employ 1.4 Million People.• Highly influenced by the general economy (Boom and
Bust), weather, etc and therefore quite risky business.
• Very difficult work condition• Significant impact on the environment

The UK Construction Industry
• Public Perception is often:• One of Lazy, shovel-learning, • Cheating Cowboys who bodge, rather than build.• In reality, the vast of construction activities is
carried out by professional to the highest standard.

What are the Problems•Adversarial and Fragmented processes.•Very little time spent on design development.•Minimum communications and interactions
between the construction team.•High out-turn compared to initial cost.•Poor site construction planning.

The Innovation
•Processes re-engineering and bench-marking (using Lean Thinking Philosophy)
• Information Technology as enabling tools for processes improvements.
•Products developments. •Safer and well planned construction sites•More environmentally friendly sites

Advantages of new processes: Time Compresion
•Replace Sequential Processing by Interactive Concurrent Processing.
•Enable application of principles of concurrent engineering.
•Improve planning of construction site procedures.
