In the aftermath of the COVID-19 health crisis, the Peruvian government's policy of stimulating economic revitalization led to strong investment in the construction sector, particularly in the city of Puno. However, the demand for construction projects challenged many companies to adopt new strategies and methodologies. In this context, the purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the Lean Construction method affects the productivity of Puno private civil construction companies. To this end, a quantitative approach methodology was used, at a descriptive-correlational level, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design, using a validated questionnaire that was applied to five representatives of 16 authorized Puno private civil construction companies. The results indicated a strong positive correlation of 0.912 between the variables, as well as in the dimensions of the Transformation, Flow, and Value (TFV) model. Finally, it was concluded that the Lean Construction method has a significant impact on the productivity of Puno private civil construction companies. However, despite the obvious correlation between the variables, companies showed a limited adoption of this methodology, which was reflected in the occasional adoption of these practices, and this was evidenced in the fluctuating productivity rates, which suggests a significant challenge in taking full advantage of the benefits that Lean can offer to the construction sector.
