As the below cartoon notes, sure, you can continue to do JOC the old way… or even trudge through your numerous and ongoing repair, renovation, and minor new construction projects without a LEAN Job Order Contracting implementation.
On the other hand, you can take the initiative and let us help you to design, implement, and manage a cost effective LEAN Job Order Contract that can deliver over 90% of your repair, renovation, and minor new construction projects on-time, on-budget, and to EVERYONE’s satisfaction…. real property owners, facilities management, building users, and JOC construction service providers.
