This research studies on an improvement of the construction process in term of time consideration. The construction industry was considered fragmented because policy and guideline implementation and practice in the construction are inconsistent among the players involved. Commonly, town planners, architects and designers work independently with little input and communicate with each other. The construction industry is facing increased demands from society.

Lead time minimization is importance in order to increase the quality of project.
