Job Order Contracting is a LEAN construction process that must be implemented in an open manner in order to be efficient.
All participants are required to collaborate and must have a shared vision. Understanding that Job Order Contacting is different from traditional and commonly adversarial construction delivery methods is the first step.
While collaboration and mutual respect and trust are key, owners must play a leadership role. Owners must participate directly in the day-to-day aspects of a JOC Program.
An open, common data environment, in the form of locally researched construction costs, at a detailed line item level, provides the benefits of improved statement of work communication and financial transparency.
Collaborative cloud-based JOC expert systems play a supportive role by enabling lower cost JOC Program deployment and helping to assure consistency.
LEAN, open JOC Programs optimize benefits and savings.
JOC is a proven solution for managing the numerous renovation, repair, and minor new construction projects facing real property portfolio owners. Unfortunately, less than 5% of owners leverage JOC, and fewer still are maximizing its benefits.
Why would a process that virtually assures 90% delivery of project on-time, on-budget, and to everyone’s satisfaction be in use by less than 5% of owners? Simple. A decision-making environment that requires groups of people to make consensus decisions about complex issues is foreign to the AECOO community (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operators, Owners). A significant change in how day-to-day business is done is difficult for many. Furthermore, the unfortunate fact is many owners lack the skills to truly implement productive strategies.
Transforming AECCO core business processes is a basic requirement for future survival in our every changing economic and environmental landscape.
