TrueNorth Brings Lean
to Homebuilding

LeanBuilding Blitz 5.0

The guiding principles of Lean have transformed every industry they touch. Lean removes waste from systems and processes, and that removes cost. TrueNorth is so successful in applying these principles to homebuilding that we guarantee results in writing:

Pay us only if we perform.

Check the results of 70+ straight LeanBuilding Blitz sessions where we average $8,500 per house in identified savings. Our LeanBlitz programs are scaled to builders of 5 units to 1,500, starter home to high end luxury; there's one sure to fit your need.

Hear Scott Sedam and Todd Hallett speak on how Lean Design can make or break a builder's profits.

If you struggle with cost and knew you had a few thousand dollars of waste designed-in to your product, would you not want to ferret it out?

Scott and Todd:

TrueNorth has teamed up with Todd Hallett, principal at TK Design & Architecture, to launch a radical new approach to plan reviews. Use our 765 check points gleaned from Lean experience. Improve bottom line performance by reducing your cost to build. Eliminate framing/plumbing conflicts, missed intersects, mis-sized rooms for drywall or flooring, and on, and on, and on...

These are not "dumbed down" houses; they are your plans, optimized. We focus on design-induced waste present in virtually every house, as identified by your own suppliers and trades, and design it out with the help of our 765-point Lean Filter, devised with the input of over 1,600 supplier and trade contractors.

Nobody in this industry can match the input.

LeanPlan Workout pays for itself in the first few units built, and will generate additional profit with each unit built therefter.
