Abstract

Purpose: This paper proposes a Lean Construction Wheel (LCW) to be a framework for Tanzanian construction firms. Absence of a lean construction framework brings failure into the implementation of lean construction, and this is attributed to a low level of awareness of lean construction. Methodology: Quantitative research approach was used to assess the application of LCW principles by 57 Class 1 local building contractors located in Dar es Salaam. The results were analysed through the Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) were figured out. Findings: The findings show that the term lean construction was found to be terminology to Tanzanian contractors, but still, they apply some of the lean construction principles. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The effect of the study will enhance the contractors to understand the importance of a lean construction framework and will encourage them to opt for the LCW framework. It will also create an urge to develop more frameworks that are better off for the Tanzanian construction industry
