Procuring and executing on-demand, on-budget, on-time, quality construction services has traditionally been as likely as seeing pig fly.

Solving the construction productivity problem however is now attainable for any savvy real property owner.

Isn’t it time you stop the waste, the worrying, and the hassles of facilities repair, renovation, and minor new construction.

The primary reason for waste in construction is lack of visibility into project scope and lack of robust processes that mitigate variation.
LEAN construction delivery can consistently make you, your stakeholders, and your builders happy, while also maximizing use of your resources.
Job Order Contracting (JOC), specifically LEAN Job Order Contracting deployed via the OpenJOC(TM) Framework provides all the processes, tools, and information to assure that 90%+ of project meet requirements versus the 25% industry average.

Best Value Focus

Construction services decision-making should be accomplished collaboratively among technical teams, procurement, and building users…. and the suppliers!    Structures can easily be put in place to avoid wasteful redundant procurement for common, recurring repair, renovation, and minor new construction projects.

Based upon the size of your facilities repair/renovation/maintenance budget, you may elect to set up your own JOC Program, or procure JOC Construction Services through a vetted Cooperative administered by a public agency.

Think local

Local construction service providers a most familiar with the supply, economic, and technical challenges of your location.   Also consider smaller firms that have less capital intensive overhead that comes a your expense.

Details Matter

Sure, construction services aren’t “cookie cutter” and can be complicated.  That’s exactly why you want skilled professionals working with you collaboratively in a fully financially transparent manner.

Procuring construction services via low-bid or lump sum simply doesn’t work.  The granularity of information, work scope, and pricing provided exclusively by a locally researched unit price book (UPB) is a key tool for improving overall outcomes.
