Job Order Contracting JOC Integrated Project Delivery

While technical improvements in construction processes, new building materials and the use of technology to streamline project management are all important, LEAN collaborative construction delivery methods are the only solution PROVEN to deliver over 90% of project on-time, on-budget, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.

• Open communication to engender a “no-blame” attitude; where problems are identified, there is no move to establish liability, but instead a focus on having them resolved quickly
• Timely sharing of up-to-date information to ensure all participants work on the same version of project documentation and reports
