AIA New York State, the 13 Chapters of the New York Region, and the Associated General Contractors of New York State present Introduction to Lean Construction & Design.

Emerging leaders in architecture and other professionals will learn how Lean can drive improved results in:

  • Operations (Increased productivity via workflow efficiency),

  • Project Delivery (on time, on budget at the pull of client value), and

  • Design (a creative process that prevents error and invents value).

Learning Objectives include:

  1. Understand the Architect’s role in a Lean practice and why Owners and Constructors have adopted processes to increase value, reduce error and streamline workflows.

  2. Learn how Lean project management improves fundamentals of client satisfaction: Goal Setting; Scheduling; Budgeting; Problem-Solving and Decision-Making.

  3. Apply Lean project development as a coordinated, enterprise system enabling a collaborative, decide-to-budget process, which avoids last-minute cost cutting, degrading the quality of environment delivered to occupants.

  4. Prepare yourself for engaging with constructors as trade partners in collaborative scheduling via the Last Planner System so that decisions are made at the last responsible moment, resulting in fully coordination design solutions that enhance occupant wellness, comfort, and functionality.
