In-Depth Interview Findings: Drivers for Lean

Among the varied reasons that companies adopt Lean practices in construction, many are related to how a company is perceived in the marketplace, including the need to stay ahead of the competition and the desire to be seen as a leader in this area.
These reasons, along with client influence, could also help companies secure contracts.
Trade contractors also mention the desire to work collaboratively and the ability to ensure constant improvement as key drivers for their businesses.
Other drivers relate directly to the desire to reduce waste, such as cutting costs and reducing projects schedules.
