This Master’s thesis defines and analyses 20 scenarios in which the application of BIM is to benefit lean construction methods among the categories visualization, synchronization, task management, request management, working spaces and design scheduling. Preexisting lean construction software and project management platforms were examined regarding their implementation of those scenarios. A survey (N=113) determined actual users’ estimation of the scenarios’ advantages compared to conventional methods. All 20 scenarios were deemed auspicious by a majority of respondents (40-80%). Only the scenarios for task management have been implemented by a majority of the considered programs, but not using BIM. The survey identified missing technology and reluctance to adopt new methods among managers and partners as significant challenges to broader adoption of digitized lean methods in construction.     «
