Construction practice

Whether in planning or execution—we implement our projects using Lean methods. Experience has shown us that the Last Planner® System, with its clear weekly overview, is ideally suited for virtually any project. To this end, a detailed project implementation plan with milestones is created, which accelerates the project workflow.

Reliably reaching the goal by involving all project stakeholders.

The collaborative nature of the Last Planner® facilitates communication among all participants and trades. This fosters a shared understanding of the project and ongoing processes. By involving project participants more closely in planning and work preparation, realistic assessments can be made. The goal is to minimize sources of error and continuously improve based on project metrics. Working as a team, project participants progress from work preparation for the overall process to day-by-day management.

In phased planning, the construction project is divided into work units known as “phases.” At the same time, the work steps performed by the trades operating within each phase are grouped into “trade teams.” Through phased planning, we define how long each individual production step takes and what work needs to be completed during that time, along with the required staffing levels.
Each trade team moves through the construction project at a defined cycle with a uniform speed and direction. Through cycle planning and cycle control, we accelerate and optimize the workflow during the execution of our construction projects. Potential bottlenecks in the workflow are identified early on through simulations and eliminated.
