Job Order Contracting (JOC)

JOC is a flexible and efficient method of procurement that allows you to quickly and effectively respond to your facility's ongoing repair, maintenance, and renovation needs.

With JOC, you can save time and resources by utilizing Gordian’s CTC & a pre-qualified contractor that has already satisfied the competitive bidding standards. This eliminates the need for a lengthy bidding process for each project, allowing you to focus on what's most important - getting the job done.

Construction Task Catalog (CTC)

Utilizing Gordians (CTC) allows for total transparency into the construction bidding process. During Bid Review your construction or facilities manager will be able to see every task and its cost with a breakdown for labor and materials. This leads to fewer change work orders and surprises later on in the project.

Competitive bidding requirements

Utilizing Gordian’s JOC program allows you to hire the contractor you already trust over multiple projects, because the contractor has already taken part in the competitive bidding process using the CTC and the contractor’s specified Adjustment factors to bid against competing contractors and their Adjustment factors.

Streamlined Process

The Joint Scope Meeting at the jobsite is the starting point for every project, this is to ensure everyone agrees on the scope of work and the scope is clearly defined.

After the Joint Scope meeting the contractor builds the price proposal using the CTC that was custom tailored to fit your organization’s unique needs.

Before the proposal reaches you, your Gordian representative will the review the proposal to ensure the entire scope is included and nothing more, this results in a 6% savings on average.

Once the proposal is approved Gordian software lets you set the milestones for the project to keep track of the project and every dollar spent.

Saves Time & Money

On average this removes weeks from the normal timeline of the pre-construction process, it also removes the need for price negotiations and lowers possibility of hidden costly change work orders or misunderstandings between you the contractor.

Our Streamlined Design Build Process

Phase 1- Design & Scope

During this phase representatives from your organization and Damsel Services design team will meet to review overall project goals, budget and any potential challenges that might arise during the construction process.

This meeting will allow DSI’s design team to build an initial scope and deliver a conceptual design.

    The DSI Design Build process;

  • Lowers the design & construction cost by as much as 8% over the traditional design bid build process.
  • Saves time as the design team, management & planning team, construction team are all working together instead of independently.
  • Eliminates the typical project budget overages & schedule delays and the usual blame game played between the Architects and contractors.

Pre-Construction

Once a conceptual design has been accepted we move to the architectural design phase, during this phase the DSI design team working with architects, engineers and the DSI construction team will deliver the construction plans,project timeline, budget, and permit applications for approval.

Once approved we acquire all necessary permits and order materials.

  • Increased efficiency for most pre-construction tasks.
  • Reduces pre-bid and contractor selection time.
  • Decreases pre- construction cost by 3 to 5%.
  • Faster delivery of construction plans means construction can begin 18% faster on average.

Construction team being involved in the design and planning process results in,

  • Fewer change work orders
  • Fewer scheduling conflicts and delays
  • Savings in project time & cost.
  • A safer project resulting in fewer delays and lower insurance cost.
  • Higher quality standards and practices.

This all results in DSI delivering a better experience, and higher quality standards overall.

Post Construction

After the final walk through, post construction begins with the full suite of documents being drafted and published to a google drive or flash drives, including as-builts and warranty information, at this time the construction team will hand the project over to the services team

  • Project closeout documents
  • Maintenance schedule
  • Warranty
