Lean Construction

Construction Production 2.0

For Owners
Ultimately this system impacts an owner’s bottom line by providing a predictable and reliable environment for subcontractors and suppliers, positively impacting the planning and performance of the work being done.

For Employees
Elements of Construction Production 2.0 include important pieces of professional development for Story employees.
We utilize Construction Kata and continuous improvement methods to maximize learning opportunities for employees at all levels of the company.
