Documenting the Construction of an Innovative High Performance Wood-Frame Building
Description This research documents the construction of a non-profit housing project in Victoria from start to finish. The project aims to better understand the benefits of Lean construction and the Last Planner® system, and will report on the outcomes and opportunities for further research in advancing high performance buildings using modern methods of construction. Lean principles are starting to be supported by the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model (in practice within the healthcare sector and increasingly for commercial and educational projects), but have yet to be deployed in the residential context. This project will identify, analyze and present relevant IPD case study projects for their applicability to affordable multi-family housing projects in British Columbia. Impact This project will enhance understanding of the benefits of Lean construction and the Last Planner® system, and identify opportunities for further research to advance high performance buildings using modern construction methods.
