Project Overview

Lean Solutions for Quintain Residential Projects

Quintain residential projects represent some of the UK’s most ambitious large-scale housing developments. At Lean Touch Solutions, we’ve partnered with Quintain to enhance the delivery of these projects through expert Lean Construction methodologies. Our work supports the creation of efficient, high-quality housing while meeting tight deadlines and budget requirements.

Quintain is known for developing thriving, high-density residential communities. Our ongoing partnership spans multiple Quintain residential projects across several locations. These projects require precise coordination, with up to 22 specialist teams working to deliver around 50 high-quality homes in just six months.

To ensure consistency, we’ve trained over 60 key partners in Lean Construction methods. This has helped embed a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence across every site.

Our Project Scope (Construction)

Lean Touch Solutions has been engaged to provide a comprehensive set of Lean Construction services. Our goal is to align with Quintain’s commitment to delivering high-quality homes on time, even while managing multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.

To support this, we focus on:

  • Implementing standardized Lean frameworks tailored to different housing types and site conditions.
  • Streamlining construction workflows, from early site works through to final handover.
  • Promoting collaboration among the many teams involved in each development.
  • Eliminating waste and improving productivity to meet ambitious schedules.
  • Supporting Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to boost speed and quality where suitable.

Project Approach

Lean Construction Strategy:

To support the delivery of Quintain residential projects, we’ve developed a scalable Lean strategy that works across the entire portfolio. Key elements include:

  • Collaborative planning: Using the Last Planner® System to manage schedules and dependencies.
  • Value stream mapping: Analyzing processes for efficiency and reduced lead times.
  • Continuous improvement: Sharing lessons learned across projects for ongoing enhancement.

Securing full alignment from Quintain’s leadership and all trade partners has been essential to achieving project success.

Our “Holistical Approach” means Lean thinking is embedded into every stage—from design to customer handover. It ensures that:

  • Design and procurement support efficient building practices.
  • Teams work from a shared understanding of Lean principles.
  • Quality, cost, and time are optimized for every Quintain residential project.

By integrating Lean at every level, Quintain reinforces its position as a trusted leader in residential development.
