The idea of integrating Affordability with Lean construction techniques itself is an innovation. In India we experience vividness and variety in all fields from science to cultures to tastes and communities. Housing is one of the most basic needs of survival. At the same time we are facing an enormous depletion of our natural resources due to vast growth of population and unawareness among the users. Here comes the concept of Lean which relates directly to sustainability. All those materials, methods, techniques and practices which decrease the human efforts and at the same time reduce waste and utilise all those materials which enhance the sustainability and cost effectiveness are considered Lean. The idea of the propaganda of lean is to implement a whole new concept of ‘changed thinking into lean thinking’. Lean begins from the mindset and ends up into final results. These two are basically the two supporting pillars and everything in between is considered as the ladder steps. ‘Lean’ is not just a word rather it is a concept in itself. This concept although has been used since ages yet much needs to be incorporated in the real world and understood by the end users so that the idea behind successful implementation and achievement of sustainability and affordability is justified.
