Abstract
Purpose: Architectural and engineering facilities poses difficult management problems which has left the construction industries with waste and non-value adding activities and the clients have not been able to pull value from projects handled by contractors. It is against this background that this research was carried out for project managers to know how to apply lean construction principles and techniques to deliver their projects without waste, reduce project abandonment and abortion and for effective project delivery. Material and Methods: The research was carried out using primary and secondary data and subsequently analyzed. The data was presented using tables and charts Findings: It was observed that the principles of lean construction which promotes, the elimination of waste and non-value adding activities in processes, to engineering and design is unknown to our construction industries. Many of the construction firms are skeptical about the principal ad are not ready to entertain the techniques involved. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is recommended that the principle of lean construction be introduced and practiced by the construction firms so they may concentrate on how projects will bring value to the client.
