The Lean Builder

The Lean Builder was created for the construction leaders in the field - the superintendents and last planners. Our goal is to provide easily understood, accessible Lean Construction resources so you'll empowered to implement Lean methodologies on your projects, even if you have no other resources or champions available.

It all began with an award-winning book, The Lean Builder: A Builder's Guide to Applying Lean Tools in the Field, written by Joe Donarumo & Keyan Zandy. It's now expanded to feature blogs, podcasts, training courses, and speeches.

We've grown a community of Lean practitioners and advocates eager to reduce waste, improve workflow, and add value for project stakeholders.
