Abstract
Vietnam's construction industry is in the development stage. Construction problems and especially the issue of construction quality are considered and analyzed from numerous aspects. Currently, building information modeling (BIM) technology plays a major role in the development of the construction industry. Companies, governments, experts, and training providers aim for the widespread adoption of BIM. BIM development stages are being continually edited and oriented to suit each development point. Moreover, lean construction philosophies are gradually being applied to construction implementation based on BIM technology. This philosophy helps ensure construction quality and enhances BIM processes in construction projects. The current study has initially analyzed construction quality needs with the lean philosophy applied in BIM technology. The basic challenges are identified and management solutions are proposed for construction projects to meet customer needs.
