Getting the most out of available funds requires LEAN Job Order Contracting.
LEAN Job Order Contracting is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity program in which the costs of the project are
based on a fixed price per item (per a locally researched detailed unit price book, without “assemblies” or “systems”) and the coefficient / adjustment factor submitted by the contractor for the
contract term. Unlike traditional JOC or traditional design-bid-build, LEAN JOC is a collaborative process that focuses upon mutually beneficial outcomes for ALL participants and stakeholders.
Owners provide leadership and support within a LEAN JOC Program, without the problematic “filter” of a third party “JOC Consultant”. Furthermore, LEAN JOC Programs can be implemented for 1/3 to 1/10 the cost of traditional JOC programs that require a percentage of construction value for JOC tools and support.
LEAN JOC Programs mitigate change order and/or “supplemental job order” (a fancy term for change orders), as Owners and Design-builders work directly together on an early and ongoing basis to create and agree upon a detailed Scope of Work and associated detailed line-item proposal and approved workorder.
This process virtually assures the consistent delivery of quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new construction projects on time and on budget.
Furthermore, locally researched unit price books are available for preventive maintenance also, complete with labor and material costs and a complete check list for each task!
