Lean Construction 4.0—a framework merging Lean philosophies with tools such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and Building Information Modeling, provides a strategic avenue for optimizing efficiency, minimizing waste, and advancing sustainability. Despite increased interest in digital transformation, research gaps persist, particularly in assessing the real-world efficacy and influence of software solutions like LeanBuild on critical metrics such as cost control, timeline adherence, quality assurance, and stakeholder engagement. This research bridges these gaps through a triangulated methodology incorporating focus groups, surveys, and interviews to analyze LeanBuild’s effectiveness. Findings reveal significant improvements: 76.4% of participants reported cost reductions, 86.3% noted better schedule compliance, 85.4% observed higher quality standards, and all respondents (100%) acknowledged improved stakeholder collaboration. The study underscores LeanBuild’s capacity to optimize workflows, eliminate redundancies, and ensure transparency throughout project lifecycles, from planning to completion. The study concludes that the successful implementation of digital tools requires thoughtful adoption strategies beginning with controlled pilot projects, careful integration with existing workflows, targeted training programs, and clear performance measurement systems.
