ABSTRACT
This study reviews the literature on how sustainable lean techniques affect project timelines and performance in UK construction and examines the larger picture of sustainable lean construction methods using a variety of academic sources. Using lean principles to meet project deadlines and improve performance has garnered attention in the construction industry. This journal comprehensively analyses how lean methods affect construction project management, including deadlines and outcome. Case studies and prior research data are used to assess lean construction methods. The results suggest that lean principles and methods, such as minimizing waste, continuously improving processes, and mapping the value stream, can improve efficiency, task completion, and project performance. However, lean method integration requires strong leadership, effective stakeholder communication, and a culture that strives for progress. This study adds to current knowledge by revealing the practical effects of lean construction project management.
