BEST VALUE & COMPLIANT Construction Planning, Procurement, And Project Delivery can be deployed and managed today using a robust suite LEAN tools and services. The easiest way to describe LEAN and BEST VALUE construction, is to note what it is not. What is LEAN Construction? See: Simple Guide to LEAN Construction.
