AB  - The implementation of Lean Construction (LC) is hindered by a lack of comprehensive understanding of innovation in the built environment, making it hard for firms to implement potential improvements. This paper contests that a consideration of LC as innovation can stimulate greater uptake, because it encourages firms to think more broadly about its implementation. The study aims to understand contributions to innovation scholarship from the perspective of LC, and to build an argument for considering LC as innovation to increase uptake. Papers published in IGLC conferences across the last 25 years form the basis for a systematised literature review (SLR), that utilises thematic analysis to synthesise understandings about innovation from the LC community. From the findings, six major themes emerge relating to innovation that are prominent in the reviewed literature: Relationship of LC to Innovation, Innovation Models, Barriers, Drivers, Innovation Strategy Essentials, and Collaborative Efforts. The paper argues that LC be considered an innovation for construction in and of itself, and a theoretical model is presented to aid understanding of LC as innovation. Future research pathways are identified, for example workshops with LC experts and practitioners to verify and expand the findings of this paper.
