However, it s productivity lags behind most industries especially manufacturing.In general, the process of construction is carried out in several smaller processes.

Due to lack of a unified concept, a lot of waste is generated between the continuing activities by unpredicted release of work and the arrival of resources. However, in recent decades the construction industry has a great need to improve its productivity, quality and incorporate new technologies to the industry due to increased foreign competition.

More and more companies are adopting BIM as an acceptable waste reduction tool. The question is is BIM a tool for leaner construction?' Skryť popis
