Job Order Contracting done right, that’s what the OpenJOC(TM) Job Order Contracting Framework is all about. An open, objective, independent and verifiable JOC Cost Estimating, Project Management, and Document Management System for real property owners, architects, contractors, facilities management, and oversight groups.
OpenJOC uses common, standardized terms, definitions, and data architectures (CSI Masterformat licensee) to minimize cross discipline data gaps and errors and to improve collaboration.
Focus is upon providing an Open Framework that can be used out-of-the-box, yet also be tailored to specific organizations and requirements, while still maintaining standardized informational core data to assure portability and information maintenance.
Any organization customize requirements, yet maintain the open, standardized data framework. This fundamental aspect has been lacking in traditional JOC and AECOO business processes and technologies.
The lack of robust, standardized processes and common, standardized information, combined with the excessive use of JOC consultants and limited market options, has been the primary reason for rampant waste and lack of productivity in certain sectors, especially State, County, and Local Government.
OpenJOCJob Order Contracting Framework provides an open service, plug-and-play module which can be easily integrated into other on premise and/or cloud applications… accurate, standards-based, timely, actionable cost information to all stakeholders throughout the life-cycle of physical infrastructure, from concept through design, bidding, procurement, construction, renovation/repair/maintenance, and deconstruction/recycling.
OpenJOC Job Order Contracting Framework embeds LEAN best management practices and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for cost, performance, and time, with an overall focus upon best value outcomes
OpenJOC Job Order Contracting Framework provide the ability to deliver over 90% of renovation, repair, maintenance, sustainability, construction projects on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of all participants and stakeholders.
This is accomplished through the integration of..
- Proven collaborative LEAN Collaborative construction delivery best management practices,
- Standardized terms, definition, and data architectures.
- Open cost data, researched and maintained for all LOCAL markets, include verifiable detailed line item construction tasks, with material, equipment, and labor granularity.

Line item modifiers are also presented to further enhance data value.
- Initial and ongoing training and certification.
- Focus upon OUTCOMES, as measured by key performance indicators (KPIs)
