Welcome to the 14th IGLC Conference in Santiago

Understanding and Managing the Construction Process: Theory and Practice

The IGLC is an independent and self-managing voluntary network of construction researchers, practitioners and academics.

Our goal is to better meet customer demands and dramatically improve the performance of the AEC product development and production management process. The International Group for Lean Construction is developing new principles and methods, specifically tailored to the AEC industry but akin to notions of "lean production" which have proved so successful in manufacturing.

IGLC organizes an annual conference to provide a discussion forum for its members. The aim of the Annual Conference is to bring together practitioners, educators, and researchers to discuss industry practices and new developments of theory and applications of lean production in the AEC Sector.
