Lean Design and Construction
To achieve the aggressive target schedule, we implement the following lean initiatives:
- Modularization and plugand-play solutions
- Use off-the-shelf equipment
- Facility Simplification
- Off-site fabrication
- Standard construction design details
Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Lendlease uses BIM as the design platform to generate all design & fabrication documents from frond end engineering to shop drawing development at construction phase.
- Improving visualization
- Improving coordination
- Reducing design risk
- Increasing understanding
- Reducing shop drawing duration
- Reducing rework and wasted time
- Reducing wasted material
- Improving construction quality
- Improving collaborating between LL, GC and subcontractors
