To successfully grow, construction firms need to effectively manage cash flow to procure materials, pay vendors and salaries, fund new projects, and finance other day-to-day business operations. And in 2020, the global cost of rework was estimated to represent 5% of all construction spending, or $625 billion.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) was born of the United States military contracting world, where small construction projects were taking up to 18 months and 20 per cent of project budget to design and procure. Contractors bid a coefficient, which is applied to the UPB to arrive at contractual prices. For instance, if a contractor’s bid is.97,

What’s Wrong with Design Bid Build? Traditional design-bid-build,DBB, is costly, antagonistic, and simply inefficient. A Job Order Contracting (JOC) system is based on a competitively bid indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract between a facility owner and a construction contractor. JOC Fundamentals.

Owners have reams of rules and regulations to follow in order to put a project out for bid fairly. Job Order Contracting offers an alternative to traditional bidding processes. This database would be referenced for estimating, negotiating, project control and closeout. The primary concern in JOC contracts is time.
