Bridging the JOC Education/Training Gap
Many owners simply view Job Order Contracting (JOC) as a means to speed the procurement of repair, renovation, maintenance, and new builds that require minimum design. The result is that most public sector organizations end up wasting millions of dollars and not receiving the benefits available Job Order Contracting – lower cost, higher quality, on time and on budget project outcomes.
What you can do
JOC is a process that integrates “construction” planning, procurement, and project delivery leveraging robust LEAN methods and workflows.
When used property it is a fantastic tool to develop rapidly develop unbelievably detailed and well communicated scopes of work (SOW) inclusive of labor, material, and equipment task that reflect the local market. In fact, when implemented properly, subcontractor quotes can be validated within a JOC environment.
Sample JOC Proposal
While JOC can be superior to any other construction delivery method, including design-bid-build and design-build, the problem is that owners simply don’t understand that proper implementation requires fundamental change across all internal and external planning, procurement, and project delivery teams.
Simply procuring services and tools from a “JOC consultant” will not yield the benefits of JOC. In fact, if an owner pays a percentage of JOC construction value to a JOC consultant and doesn’t fundamentally alter behaviors and workflows, the result will be excessive administrative costs with little benefit.
