It has done virtually nothing to measurably impact the repair, renovation, maintenance, and construction of the built environment. Robust tools and processes have existing for decades that can assure quality repair, renovation, maintenance, and new builds are consistent delivered on-time and on-budget. Take BIM for example.
Whether creating new architectural expressions or rehabilitating architecturally significant historic buildings, from stick-built to unitized, “off-the-shelf” commodity to custom bespoke systems, utilizing insulating glass units or opaque spandrel panels, simple flat or complex geometry; it seems the sky is the limit with curtain wall design today.
But cutting edge technology is procured on different terms from those typically used in the construction industry. With this in mind, this blog takes a look at what the construction industry may be able to learn from the approach of contracts for the procurement of technology (commonly termed “tech contracts”).
They simply need to be involved in the project early (from concept) thru hand-over/warranty period. LEAN Construction Delivery Methods – Job Order Contacting, JOC, Integrated Project Delivery, IPD … versus archaic, antagonistic, and unproductive design-bid-build, design-build, CM@R, etc. Share risk and reward.
JOC reduces unnecessary levels of engineering, design, and contract procurement time along with construction project procurement costs by awarding long- term contracts for a wide variety of renovation, repair and new construction projects. Smaller projects were taking up to 1 year to procure creating a growing backlog of work.
The J OCPB (JOC Price Book: reflects the current local costs in detail for construction tasks expected to be performed in the geographical area of the base contract with the primary use of developing a detailed line-item price. Labor line items are not to provide services, typically performed under a separate service or requirements contract.
Effectively and transparently track and manage budgets, forecast performance and progress, and create a collaborative procurement and cost/project management process. Plan and execute work seamlessly between Owners, Contractors, and Building Users. 4BT-CE Building in Cloud & the OpenJOC(TM) Framework. New building.
Facilities operations involving multiple sites and building types/ages can be efficiently managed with the right mix of global oversight and local execution as well as consistent application of LEAN best management practices.
Meanwhile, warranty service provider for structures Build-Zone is celebrating its 20th year in the building industry as an insurer. Furthermore, there are indications that things are turning around in the building business in the UK. Why Build-Zone and structural warranty?
Value-based procurement. Continuous monitoring – use of key performance indicators, KPIs. On-demand, On-time, On-budget performance. The project pathway, from concept through warranty period must be simple and direct. Trust but measure. Performance metrics are REQUIRED. Focus upon outcomes.

JOC is about performance! fewer change orders, increased response to warranty issues, virtually no legal disputes. move away from the low capture ratios and low profit world of traditional design-hard bid-build and achieve reasaonble payment for your effort and service. Performance incentives. Faster delivery of projects.
They have timelines that are measured in years, and this leaves much room for error.

Enter process management.
Development of acquisition/procurement approach. JOC procurement/award process. For example, work in several locations and/or associated varied building types may require the use of various location factors or even separate unit price books. Development of acquisition/procurement approach. Performance Period.
County, State, and Local Governments, include secondary education unfortunately continue to use JOC simply as a means to speed delivery and bypass traditional procurement versus as a LEAN collaborative construction delivery method. Each project or job ordered under a JOC is normally comprised of a number of pre-described and pre-priced tasks.
The JOC includes a comprehensive collection of detailed repair, maintenance and minor construction task descriptions or specifications, units of measure and pre-established unit prices for each of these discrete tasks. This proposal is subsequently evaluated, and agreement is reached on quantities, time, performance period, etc.,
a) Purchasing/Procurement, in coordination with the facilities management and/or technical staff, must assure that the specifications and Unit Price Book have undergone technical review and validation and are tailored to meet the projected requirements and local economic conditions. Solicitation. (a) Ordering. (a)
Standardized cost databases have been introduced based upon MasterFormat that enable construction owners, service providers, building product manufactures, and technology providers to improve cost visibility and also expand upon using historical and/or custom cost data. Procurement Requirements and Contracting Requirements.
