AB  - In the last ten years, the interest in the question on how lean construction could contribute to sustainability has considerably increased. This is reflected in the rapidly growing number of publications addressing this question. Especially systematic literature reviews have been popular. In this explorative paper, such reviews are critically evaluated. A synthesis of findings about the conceptual framework of the relation between lean and sustainability is provided. Based on the findings, we determine the missing topics in the available literature reviews. For example, target value design and takt production have not been gaining attention on reviews focusing on lean and sustainability relationship compared to other lean methods. We present suggestions for future research as well as a conceptual framework for contributions of lean construction on sustainability.
