The 2025 Lean Construction Summit was a call to action to lead the charge and embrace a value driven future through the adoption of Lean.
For decades, the UK construction industry has faced mounting challenges: inefficiency, fragmentation, lack of collaboration, and an urgent need for skills development. Landmark reports by Latham, Egan, and Farmer identified these issues, yet the problems persist. Today, low productivity, project delays and budget overruns threaten the industry’s future. But change is achievable, and the solution is Lean Construction.
With Headline Sponsor BAM, and speakers that included Mark Reynolds (Mace, CLC), Prof. David Hancock (NISTA), Huw Jones (BAM), Emma White (Network Rail) and Peter Owen (Willmott Dixon) we heard about the current state of the construction industry and how Lean can play a vital part in stabilising and increasing productivity and efficiency across the sector towards a value driven future.
