Lean construction and the “Good House” value system in China: developing a synergistic framework

China has recently introduced the concept of “good house” and incorporated it into the government work report. Nevertheless, the construction sector still struggles with persistent issues including poor quality, low efficiency, and limited sustainability. This study addresses the gap between China’s “good house” policy and persistent industry challenges by pioneering the integration of Lean Construction principles into the good house value system, proposing a synergistic framework grounded in Transformation-Flow-Value (TFV) production theory and its extensions (TFV–Institutional Logic Perspective and TFV–Service-Dominant Logic Perspective). Through logical deduction and systematic mapping, the framework elucidates how Lean Construction principles contribute to key good house value indicators. It extends TFV theory beyond the production phase by integrating an institutional logic perspective (e.g., locational value) and a service-dominant logic perspective (e.g., operational co-creation value). The framework provides a conceptual basis for empirical testing and offers policymakers an actionable pathway to deliver user-centered good houses.
