The present paper aims to understand and transmit management practices related to Lean
Philosophy and the Toyota Production System in active companies of construction of
conventional buildings. The goal is the reduction of waste from overproduction, waiting,
unnecessary processing, excessive inventory, transport, defects and movements, increasing
productivity, which is measured through the Lean Construction principles. The methodologies
used involve the synthesis of the relationship between the principles, actions and waste, plus
the application of a questionnaire with companies from Palmas, Tocantins, to assess the
receptivity of companies in the area regarding the application of the actions raised and,
finally, synthesis of results and experiences of actions with the greatest possibility of
adherence based on the literature, explaining the necessary changes for implementation,
advantages and limiting factors. From the results obtained, it was possible to understand the
relationship between the different aspects of Lean Construction, in addition to denoting the
actions that companies from Palmas demonstrated greater and lesser resistance to change,
correlating the responses with previously carried out studies. Lastly, the survey of learning
obtained from other information found in the literature resulted in guidance to companies that
demonstrate willingness to obtain better results through the elimination of waste.
