AB  - The rapid advent of technological progress has triggered many industries to modify how they perform their tasks. The construction industry has not been immune to this reality. In this sense, Lean Construction 4.0 was recently born from the fusion of Lean principles and Construction 4.0. Similarly, concepts such as Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 have also emerged in recent years, intending to put human beings at the center of companies’ work. Thus, this article addresses how close Lean Construction 4.0 and Society 5.0 are. After analyzing both approaches, it is feasible to say that the relationship between both views is sensitively close, specifically under a human-centered approach and, therefore, it cannot be ignored as a process that also deals with the transformation of society through technology.
