dc.description.abstractConstruction projects in Ghana for the past decades have not seen any improvement in transforming the industry with emerging global philosophies. However, lean construction principles have emerged in the industry to replace the traditional way of project delivery. In spite of problems associated with project delivery which in turn brought uncertainties of the environmental hazards, global economic climate, in addition to the projects been delayed with respect to zero margin contract bids and greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, studies have alluded to the fact that projects take longer than expected, and the finished product not meeting client expectations with regards to quality. This research work is aimed at accessing the lean construction principles and practice toward improvement of project delivery at Consar limited. The methodology used in conducting this research work is a qualitative study. The data collected and use for this study is basically interviews, the researcher adopted the use of NVivo 11 software for analyzing the interviewed script. The research findings indicate that the Just in Time principles is fully in operational at Consar limited, regardless of some few challenges with regards to transportation. Further findings reveal that the 5S principles which concerns creating and maintaining well organized, clean, high effective and high-quality workplace is fully operational at Consar limited. The rest of the lean construction principles are partly operational. However, the major recommendation that ensures project objectives are successful is that project participants must endeavour to collaborate in the design process so as to minimized variations that emerged as a result of deficiencies in design process, which is coupled with schedule delay, budget escalating and above all not meeting customer expectations.en_US
