At Lean Construction, construction management services provide assurance to the client of a well-run, problem-free job site. The team of experienced construction professionals provides cost control, scheduling coordination, quality control and timely execution of plans throughout the project. Lean Construction’s knowledge of local building codes, life safety requirements, permitting and other local nuances in the construction process is critical to the project’s on-time and on-budget completion according to plan. The client’s interest is represented throughout the project, from start to finish, ensuring schedule compliance, coordinating proper document control and optimizing the owner’s investment in the project.

With construction management, Lean Construction typically acts as an agent for the owner, helping to manage the whole process. The owner pays a fee for this service as opposed to a markup on each item. This differs significantly from general contracting.

Under a construction management arrangement, all bids and information are submitted to the client. The client and the Lean Construction’s manager decide together which subcontractor to use for the work. They are, in effect, working as a team.

With traditional construction management, all the subcontractors report to and are paid by the client. Lean Construction is there to help make decisions on whom to use and manage those subcontractors during the building process, eliminating time wasting for client.
