The construction industry has long been associated with challenges such as cost overruns, schedule delays, poor quality, and safety concerns. In an era where efficiency and productivity are paramount, the construction industry is turning to lean construction principles as a transformative approach to addressing these persistent issues. Inspired by the philosophy of lean manufacturing, Lean Construction aims to improve processes, reduce waste and increase value while keeping customer needs at the forefront. In this article, we will explore the basic principles of lean construction and their applicability to construction projects in Libya and develop a proposed framework for lean construction. To achieve the research objectives; A questionnaire was designed and distributed to one of the leading construction companies in Libya. This questionnaire was used to study the main factors affecting the performance of construction projects and the understanding of employees regarding construction/waste removal techniques in the Libyan construction industry. The study concluded that 30% of participants, showed moderate awareness, while 17% of the sample showed very high awareness. In addition, 16% of the sample showed a high understanding of waste removal techniques in the Libyan construction industry. Despite the benefits of applying lean principles in the Libyan construction industry, its implementation is not without limitations.
