“…Badurdeen et al [29] presented a literature review of simulations used to teach Lean manufacturing for academic instruction and also for industry participants. Regarding Lean Construction, most of the games focus on project planning, such as Last Planner System Games [2,19,30,31]. GBL presents multiple advantages, but it is also important to consider its limitations.…”

Lean philosophy introduces a new approach for maximizing value while minimizing waste, facilitating sustainable practices at the same time. Companies have become aware of these improvements and are demanding students well formed in Lean concepts. However, to meet this demand, universities must adapt their curricula to include courses that use alternative teaching methods to connect to real contexts. This paper seeks to analyze the benefits of lecture- and game-based learning for developing students’ understanding of Lean Construction Principles. A case study is carried out in the “Lean Construction” course of the Master of Planning and Management in Civil Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València. A combination of a traditional lecture and three simple games is applied. Descriptive statistics, the Mann–Whitney U-test, and the Wilcoxon test are performed to analyze the impact of each activity on the understanding of each Lean Construction Principle. Results highlight the importance of combining the lecture class with multiple games to effectively impart knowledge about Lean principles and their application in the construction industry. In addition, they emphasize the importance of selecting the game according to the Lean principle to be taught.

At the end of a predesign phase of a building design, it is essential for the consulting firm to be able to generate from the BIM design, takeoff quantities and construction activities durations efficiently at a short timeframe to derive the cost budget estimates and schedule for project tendering purpose. However, these efforts require prior construction site experience and knowledge together with their association to the BIM and IFC construction component data to automate a Master Project Schedule. The research and development of the automated master project schedule is the focus of the project which will read IFC data from a BIM application and display the model while the data are distributed to a database repository. The automated project schedule can then be generated with the activities and timeline of each building component presented by floor levels and component types. Finally, the challenges in changes in the construction methods such as precast and/or cast in-situ, and the additional building component information from BIM to IFC that provide a set of data to derive a practical project schedule are discussed while these data can also be used to estimate the bill of materials of building components. The aim of this research project is thus to enable planners to use a platform that holds and manages construction knowledge and applying BIM and IFC standards to generate a master project schedule automatically.
