Resumo(s)
As Lean Construction steadily grows all over the world, not much is heard about this
new paradigm in Portugal, and the Portuguese construction industry still seems
unaware of its potentials. This study aims at characterizing and analyzing the main
causes for waste that could be tackled with Lean Construction solutions and
techniques in the Portuguese construction sector. It is assumed that lean construction
can greatly contribute to the Portuguese construction sector by the positive costbenefit
results.
An analysis is made on how lean construction can be beneficial in the Portuguese
context, from the perspectives of owners and designers. The study is an exploratory
qualitative research that is observational in nature. Overall, 8 private owners, 10
public owners and 13 design firms participated in this study.
The results obtained are in line with similar studies and indicate that the origin of
most waste in Portuguese projects has its roots in the design phase due to owners’
actions. This work seeks to demonstrate the key role that owners have in the
adoptions of lean construction methods and principles, which can be implemented to
mitigate the main problems found.
