Benchmarking is a best management practice that allows companies to be compared and to improve. Some benchmarking studies in the construction industry have evaluated several dimensions with respect to management practices. Different methods have been used to benchmark the performance of construction companies. These methods are strenuous due to their extension and the variety of practices evaluated. Although there are benchmarking tools that have defined the minimum practices that should be evaluated in the management of industries from a lean approach, this has not yet been achieved for construction management. Therefore, the objective of this research was to develop a benchmarking exercise of minimum management practices in construction, using a website to obtain information from construction companies through an adaptation of the World Management Survey (WMS) methodology. For this purpose, surveys were developed with a Lean approach and the content was validated by interviews with experts from the construction industry. Data was collected through a website that hosts the surveys. Results of this benchmarking study show that the majority of construction companies surveyed scored less than 50% in their management practices, which shows an opportunity for improvement for the companies evaluated.
