The purpose of this study is to verify the applicability of the Value Stream Mapping confirming its ability to spot the root source of wastes, reduce the overall lead time of the project, improve the workflow of activities, improve quality of work, and create customer satisfaction as per value defined for the construction project. For research study, civil work of the underground floor and ground floor was taken into consideration, which is further bifurcated into five stages having a total of forty-five activities. Data is collected from site and fed in the Current Map from which, along with the information and material flow, the root cause of wastes from different activities are spotted and the solution of the same activates is illustrated in the Future Map using proper lean symbols, which has reduced wastes, better flow and improved lead time. For this paper, one activity namely ‘Ground Floor Column Concrete’ is selected to illustrate the current and future map. It is found that the lead time of this activity is reduced which will bring various cost benefits and will be useful for the researchers and practitioners in understanding the framework of lean implementation in civil engineering projects, as obtained results encourage its transferability to similar projects.
