The Interaction of lean and building information modeling in construction

TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix that juxtaposes BIM functionalities with prescriptive lean construction principles is used to explore the degree of validity of the interactions between the two paradigms.

Interaction of Lean and Building Information Modeling in Construction

TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix that juxtaposes BIM functionalities with prescriptive lean construction principles is used to explore the degree of validity of the interactions between the two paradigms and find that a synergy exists which, if properly understood in theoretical terms, can be exploited to improve construction processes beyond the degree to which it might be improved by application of either of them independently.
Journal ArticleDOI

Challenges for Integrated Design and Delivery Solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach of integrated design and delivery solutions (IDDS) aims to radically improve the performance of the construction industries by integrating skill development, process re-engineering, responsive information technology, enhanced interoperability and integrating knowledge management, among others.

Is agile project management applicable to construction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the evolution of Agile Project Management (APM) and differentiates it from lean and agile production and "leagile" construction, and concluded that APM offers considerable potential for application in predesign and design but that there are significant hurdles to its adoption in the actual construction phase.

Analysis framework for the interaction between lean construction and building information modelling

TL;DR: A conceptual analysis of the interaction of lean construction and BIM for improving construction is provided, identifying 55 interactions which show positive synergy between the two.
