Wohlsen has been practicing lean construction since before the term was coined.
By bringing together all stakeholders (owner, architect, engineer, contractor, and subcontracting partners) at the beginning of a project, Wohlsen harnesses their collective talent, unlocks creativity, and promotes teamwork.
We believe projects with a high level of collaboration are significantly more successful for all parties involved. And the data backs us up. Wohlsen consistently has maintained a less than 1% variance in cost for clients from the initial conceptual budget to the establishment of the guaranteed maximum price.
Having one mindset improves efficiency and significantly reduces the potential for costly changes to occur as the project progresses. It results in a higher-quality building, completed in the quickest timeline, for the best value.

Wohlsen’s lean construction principles can be used to implement Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) where we share risks and rewards contractually among multiple members of the building and design team. When all parties are invested and have a stake in delivering a successful build, everyone works collaboratively toward a common goal.
With skilled trade coordination, enhanced communication and trust result in:
Wohlsen is committed to continuous improvement and always is looking for ways to better implement lean construction practices. Our membership in the Lean Construction Institute and its Mid-Atlantic Community of Practice provides access to emerging principles we can use to further improve efficiencies and increase value for our clients.
