Delivering exactly what the customer and end user desire is the main goal of lean construction. The goal of this research is to use a quantitative analysis to investigate the challenges related to lean construction implementation. To gather information from lean practitioners around the nation, a questionnaire was created. The variables were prioritized using the Analytic Hierarchy Process after the acquired data were statistically examined. The quantitative investigation yielded results that highlighted the main challenges in implementing lean, namely a lack of support from upper management, a lack of engagement among project stakeholders, and a reluctance to adopt the new strategy. In the Kerala construction setting, which is still in the beginning phases of the advancement of lean construction, the application possibility of not set in stone to be poor.
