Everyone related to the construction process has incentive to get the project done faster and at a lower cost - from the project owners who want to see tangible results for their investment to the contractors and designers who want to do their job well and move on to the next project. Lean Construction is based on the holistic pursuit of continuous improvements aimed at minimizing costs and maximizing value on a construction project.

To help contractors develop the knowledge needed to build lean, the Associated General Contractors of America (ACG) developed the Certificate of Management – Lean Construction (CM-Lean) program and designation.

of this 7-module training program also prepares you to challenge the AGC Certificate of Management – Lean Construction exam and earn the CM-Lean designation. All course work and the exam are now being offered in a virtual delivery format.
