- The application of lean construction solutions in site works of residential refurbishment projects: an overviewPublication . Missaoui, Ahmed; Abreu, Maria Isabel; Oliveira, RuiThe construction industry has long faced challenges of low productivity, high costs, and substantial waste. In recent years, Lean Construction has emerged as a promising solution to address these issues. This scientific article explores the principles of Lean Construction and investigates their application in building refurbishment projects. Specifically focusing on the context of building refurbishment, this article delves into the key concepts and tools of Lean Construction, such as Value Stream Mapping, Pull Planning, Just-in-Time Delivery, Last Planner System, and Visual Management. These tools enable the elimination of waste, improvement of project outcomes, increased productivity, and reduced costs. Moreover, this article presents the results of surveys and interviews conducted within the building refurbishment sector, examining the implementation of Lean Construction practices. The findings illustrate the potential benefits of Lean Construction in enhancing project delivery, reducing costs, and improving overall project outcomes. Based on these insights, practical recommendations are provided for the successful implementation of Lean Construction solutions in building refurbishment projects, including the importance of leadership, stakeholder collaboration, continuous improvement, and the use of data and metrics to measure progress. This article contributes to the knowledge base on Lean Construction, providing guidance for the development of building refurbishment projects and serving as a catalyst for further research in this field.

- The application of lean construction solutions in site works of residential refurbishment projects: an overviewPublication . Missaoui, Ahmed; Oliveira, RuiThis master's thesis critically examines the enduring challenges of low productivity, high costs, and extensive waste that plague the construction industry. It focuses on Lean Construction, an increasingly popular methodology, as a potential solution to these issues, with a special emphasis on its application in building refurbishment. The thesis provides an in-depth exploration of Lean Construction's core principles and tools, such as Value Stream Mapping, Pull Planning, Just-in-Time Delivery, the Last Planner System, and Visual Management. It assesses their effectiveness in diminishing waste, enhancing productivity, and reducing refurbishment project costs. A distinctive feature of this thesis is the empirical research undertaken, which includes surveys and interviews with two companies in the French and Tunisian building refurbishment sectors. This research aims to assess the practical implementation of Lean Construction techniques in these regions. The results from this study underscore the ability of Lean Construction methodologies to improve project delivery, cut down costs, and elevate the overall success of refurbishment projects. Drawing from these findings, the thesis presents actionable recommendations for the successful integration of Lean Construction strategies in the realm of building refurbishment. It underscores the importance of effective leadership, the engagement of all stakeholders, the adoption of continuous improvement processes, and the utilization of data and metrics for progress measurement. This research not only enriches the academic and pragmatic understanding of Lean Construction but also acts as a strategic guide for upcoming building refurbishment projects and lays the groundwork for future research in this area.
