AB  - Existing industrialized construction (IC) and lean construction research have mainly addressed IC adoption at organisational and industry levels, identifying barriers, mapping lean techniques, and proposing strategic frameworks, while offering limited insight into the project-level requirements of industrialized construction projects (ICPs) and how these relate to Lean Project Delivery (LPD). This paper develops a requirements-based perspective on ICPs and examines to what extent LPD characteristics address these requirements. A structured literature review was used to consolidate key LPD characteristics into three dimensions: project organisation, contractual relationships, and operational system. In parallel, an expert focus group in the Chilean context elicited, refined, and prioritised ICP requirements, which were clustered into nine thematic categories. Both structured sets were then cross-referenced through thematic analysis. The results indicate strong alignment between LPD and requirements related to early stakeholder integration, collaboration and organisational governance, and factory–site planning and coordination, while in other areas LPD mainly offers a collaborative platform to better address ICP requirements, particularly those linked to regulatory and contractual (RC) aspects and digitalization and information technologies (D&I).
