In this context, the aim of this paper is to, first, identify which are the guiding principles for lean product development, by literature review in different industries; and, second, based on these structured principles, perform an exploratory collection of good practices in building design projects. In order to identify the guiding principles a literature review was conducted and, after that, case studies were carried out in three Brazilian Construction and Architecture companies, plus one international Architecture company. The guiding principles showed to be a good structured way of collecting lean design good practices; additionally, in the case studies it was detected if and how lean design principles are applied in the companies. As a contribution, this work established structured lean product development guiding principles and gathered an exploratory collection of building design good practices. For future work, the evolution of the guiding principles in a framework for application, the adaptation of some lean principles for building design and more studies to test the application of related practices in the sector are suggested.
