Productive Job Order Contracting (JOC) is important to all public sector real property owners.
Productive Job Order Contracting provides cost visibility and transparency and can be deployed at a 10x savings versus traditional offerings.
Most traditional JOC Programs focus simply on speeding procurement cycles. As multiple independent audits have shown, the result has been a lack of financial oversight and poor cost management. Savvy real property owners are now implementing JOC solutions that not only provide cost visibility and transparency, but also can be deployed at a 10x savings versus traditional offerings.
For JOC Programs to provide maximum benefit, internal and external planning, procurement, and project delivery teams must operate collaboratively on an early and ongoing basis. A third party “JOC Consultant” should be removed from the process other than for services independent auditing, training, and independent government estimating assistance.
Intelligently designed, implemented, and managed, JOC Program can consistently deliver quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new builds on time and on budget and maintain full compliace with less administrative burden and cost.
Roles and responsibilities are now changing to play a leadership role in assuring positive environmental and financial outcomes. Innovative JOC Programs, tools, and services can play a key role in this transition.
