WHAT IS LEAN CONSTRUCTION
LEAN IS HERE AT LENMARK!
Here at Lenmark we have always operated as a very ‘Lean’ business, & as so we have always tried to offer our clients a honest & fair price for the works that we carry out, our prudent approach alongside carrying out ‘value engineering exercises’ prior to submitting our tenders has been very successful over the years, but now we are looking to take ‘Lean’ to a new level.
Over the coming months our intention is to really push ‘Lean Construction’ throughout our business from head office to site, this will see our teams push
for continuous improvement, whilst also improving customer satisfaction, reduce costs, waste elimination, & increase productivity & efficiency, by focusing on delivering value to our customers Lean construction can help us meet or exceed their expectations & build long tern relationships, everyone wins!
In early July Lenmark teamed up with TwinUK to organise a training course for our contract managers & office staff in Business improvement techniques, & Effective teamwork.
These courses will help us become a Lean & Effective organisation, standardizing processes & consolidating information across many different parts of the business.
Our Lean management approach will also look at the added value we can bring to our customers, but also where we can cut waste & increase productivity on site. Our goal over the next 12 months is to completely eliminate defects on site,& through our QA system & we are on target to make that a reality.
GLEN FERON & PATSY SCULLION RETIREMENT
It was a sad day on 31st April when Glen Feron & Patsy Scullion retired from the business.
Glen who has been with the business for 17 years and has been a real dependable & tenacious part of the company, always giving his very best every day, now you need to put the same effort into doing nothing Glen, & I know that will be hard for you mate.
We were lucky to have you, now it’s your family’s turn.
Patsy Scullion, what a legend. Even at 75, still operating a excavator!!
The good thing about retirement Patsy, you now become your own boss, what’s more you won’t have to deal anymore with cheeky young chappies who know nothing about machines!
It just won’t be the same anymore without you mate, but don’t be giving all that pension to William Hill!
...to Alison who has been promoted to the role of Office Manager.
Alison, who joined Lenmark last year has really showed her talents in the office since she joined the company, with all your experience. Alison, I cant think of anyone who deserves this promotion more.
WHAT A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR OFFICE TEAM
Last month Lesley Stevenson joined Lenmark, bringing with her a great attitude & a unique style, it seems like Lesley has already been here for years, great to have you onboard the team Lesley.
VIEWPOINT
Since the end of July, we have been trialling the Viewpoint app on our sites.
Viewpoint should give us the opportunity to digitise our onsite systems & processes, it will also allow us to better collaborate onsite with suppliers & clients, additionally enabling us to better manage & control the visibility of our works, whilst also allowing better communication internally but also with clients & suppliers.
Managing defects, snagging, & our QA system will now be under one roof, we can also do away with other site tasks that involve paper like timesheets, induction sheets, etc.
All sites will be given training on this new system over the coming weeks.
WHAT IS LEAN CONSTRUCTION?
A method that helps construction improve their process efficiency and quality while minimizing waste.

ANGMERING SITE
The first phase of our site at Angmering is well ahead of programme, after a very tough winter with almost continuously heavy rain, our gangs on site have done a brilliant job in adapting to the conditions, as you can see from the images we are now coming out of the ground, hopefully now it will be full steam ahead for the rest of the summer, well done to all involved.
ANGMERING TOPSOIL SCREENING
Now that summer is upon us we have just started screening the first of 3000m3 of topsoil at Angmering, originally this topsoil was bladed off by a D6 dozer back in September 2022, now that scaffolding will be coming down soon on the showhouse plots, this graded topsoil will be used to build up levels in all the gardens, all the topsoil on site will be graded through the screener from 40mm, 20mm to a finished 10mm topsoil.
