Integration of Lean Con. and Building Information Modelling
One example is an automated estimation of quantities,
which in turn leads to rapid cost estimation. In the Shutter Health project, they started estimating the
cost as soon and as often as possible to develop a general understanding of whether the design was

meeting project goals. It created an environment where cost was driving the design rather than vice
versa (Khemlani 2009).
Target Value Design (TVD) - a management practice that drives design to deliver customer values
and develops design within project constraints (Ballard 2008). It is a quite new and emerging tool that
many scholars are studying extensively right now, for example at Loughborough University. When
implementing relational contracts, the set-based design is also included as a part of TVD. It is a
