Proper JOC contract design and management are central to improved renovation and repair outcomes. Public sector real property owners can significantly improve the percentage of quality construction projects delivered on-time and on-budget and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
A JOC Contract is the legal, multi-party procurement and construction delivery document that specifies roles, responsibilities, workflows, deliverables, time frames, and expenditure limits for renovation, repair, and minor new construction projects.
OpenJOC is a standardized, independent, objective, and defensible method for organizing, describing, pricing, procuring, and managing renovation, repair, and minor new construction activities.
