What is joc contracting

Yes, we sample local contractor pricing… however, more importantly, we research all aspects of local market conditions using our 4BT cost research methodology. We research local labor trades inclusive of fringes, material costs, and equipment costs within targeted areas.

Does your software take into consideration of how contractors prepare a coefficient? We believe a properly researched UPB should enable a contractor to submit a co-efficient of greater than 1.

For example, if a UPB should reflect the local cost of construction minus contractor profit and overhead. Thus a contractors bid co-efficient for standard hour construction is generally in the 1. Our customers include real property owners and managers, builders, cooperatives, and private companies, therefore our support services vary. Does your software factor for multiple coefficient usage? Our SaaS technology supports multiple co-efficients and then associates and locks co-efficients to specified JOC contract and awarded contractors.

Non-prepriced items are automatically tracked and in terms of both identification and usage. Non-Pre-priced Items tends to be commonly used. What is the capability of your software to incorporate non pre-priced items? Is it included in your service or an additional service charge? Most importantly the UPB itself is locked and can only be changed per contract specifications.

Additional non-prepriced line items can be easily created from existing UPB line times at a detailed level, include changes to material, labor, crew, and equipment costs. All changes at noted and maintained perpetually. All non-prepriced line item are automatically tagged as such, and there used is track and calculated. For example, a proposal will note the dollar are percentage of non-prepriced line items as well as highlight their individual usage. All of the above are included within our standard pricing.

The primary reason that a JOC Program fails to deliver significant benefit to an owner and its participants is poor initial goal setting and poor initial program set up and training.

Proper expectations must be established for owners, participants, and stakeholders. The goal of a JOC Program should not be solely to expedite procurement of construction projects, but rather, more efficient project planning, procurement, and project delivery on an overall basis. Failure to require initial and ongoing at least annual training is another reason for poor performance. A JOC Program should require regular independent third-party audits. Lastly, the improper or excessive use of JOC consultants can set the landscape for fundamental performance, cost, or legal issues.

For example a JOC consultant should never be compensated based upon a percentage of JOC construction volume if the consultant is responsible for approving JOC projects. How are the cost data items maintained and how often are they updated? Do they become a normal line item priced annually in future annual price book revisions? That said, we recommend that labor be updated quarterly, and the UPB be updated annually for mutually approved owner and 4BT line item additions.

Can your unit price book be Localized by market values directly related to a specific City without using historical national averages but rather localized averages based on a specific locations historic cost and not adjustment to a dataset?

We do not use national averages or cost factors. The use of national averages and cost factors can introduce significant error in cost data.
