Ever wonder how some construction projects seem to run like a well-oiled machine, finishing on time and on budget while others seem to be plagued by delays and cost overruns? At Klasik Construction, we've cracked the code. Our secret weapon? Lean project management.
But Lean isn't just a methodology we apply; it's woven into the very fabric of our company culture. We're a team of construction nerds, led by architect-turned-builder Justin Fara, obsessed with optimization and efficiency. We're constantly seeking ways to eliminate waste (and not just garbage), streamline processes, and deliver exceptional repeatable results for our clients.
In this blog post, we'll take you behind the scenes at Klasik Construction, revealing how we embrace Lean principles to create a construction experience that's as smooth and efficient as a "lean, mean, Klasik machine."
For Justin Fara, owner of Klasik Construction, the journey to Lean construction started with a deep appreciation for architecture. After graduating with an architecture degree from Kent State University and spending years behind a desk designing and drafting, Justin transitioned to the construction side of the industry, bringing with him a unique perspective and a passion for "beautifully built architecture."
This passion is reflected in Klasik's mission: "We preserve the integrity of design while producing unique spaces explicitly tailored for their function." It's also evident in the company's tagline: "A Klasik touch to modern building."
But Justin's architectural background isn't just about aesthetics; it's about understanding the entire building process from concept to completion. This holistic view informs Klasik's commitment to Lean principles, ensuring that every stage of a project is optimized for efficiency and value.
At Klasik, Lean isn't just a buzzword; it's a way of life. We've integrated Lean thinking into our core values, guiding our actions and decisions every step of the way.
One of the core principles of Lean is eliminating waste (muda). At Klasik, we're meticulous about minimizing waste in all its forms:
We even extend our waste reduction efforts to recycling and repurposing materials whenever possible, minimizing our environmental impact.
At Klasik, we believe in the Japanese concept of Kaizen – continuous improvement. We're always seeking ways to refine our processes, enhance our skills, and deliver even better results for our clients.
This commitment to continuous improvement extends beyond the construction site. Justin himself uses travel as an opportunity to observe different architectural styles, learn about sustainable building practices, and gather inspiration from other cultures. He brings these fresh perspectives back to Klasik, fueling innovation and driving the company forward.
So, what does all this mean for our clients? Simply put, it means a construction experience that's smoother, more efficient, and more enjoyable.
When you choose Klasik Construction, you can expect:
At Klasik Construction, we're passionate about building more than just structures; we're building relationships, communities, and dreams. Our Lean approach is not just a set of principles; it's a reflection of our values and our commitment to excellence.
