The Finer Points Of A Job Order Contract

By Henry Hall


The world used to be empty. There is no denying that. There was plenty of life around, life did in fact abound, but all of it was under the sea. Until one fish line creature evolved with legs and then it shuffled on to some ancient beach out of the primordial waters. A beach that may not even exist anymore thanks to primordial drift. But there it was. In what could accurately be described as a brand new world, at least relatively speaking. There it was, feeling everything for the first time in the history of the planet. Before that, nothing had ever felt the heat of the sun without the filter of water. Nothing had ever experienced the breeze. That singular act set in motion a chain of events. It was unlikely that the primitive brain house inside that creature could fully understand just how important it was to the destiny of the planet. But had it not had the courage to leave its literal comfort zone, terrestrial life would have evolved very differently, if at all. It is a possibility that humans would have never evolved. Which means no cities, no houses, no shopping malls. But humans did evolve, so they can create all that and other things with a job order contract.

First off, a JOC is a type of mutual agreement. It is signed by two or more parties. Now, it is mostly applied to things like construction and renovations.

The main benefit of a JOC is how much it streamlines the process. As such, jobs get done quicker. It also formalizes the relationship between an owner and a contractor.

Now, when a person thinks of a contractor, they will likely picture someone who is working in construction or at least renovating homes or other structures. This is the most popular image of the trade. Now, they can either be a single person, or they can be a whole company.

They are needed because not everyone has an aptitude for building. Not every single person in the world has a knack for putting raw materials together to make a whole new construction. As such, if there is a specific type of task that requires any kind of specialized skill, then the right professionals should be contacted.

There are many templates for a JOC available, and finding them should not be all that hard. This is because the internet is a thing that exists. So all a person has to do to find something is to type in a bunch of words into a search bar, hit the button on the keyboard that is marked ENTER, and then wait for the internet to do its thing and come back with a whole lot of different results.

A JOC covers a lot. One thing that they cover is service in the long term. This means that if any issues arise, or anything else is needed in construction, then the contractor has to be ready in case the owner needs them. This will often be a provision in a few cases.

The end results are the main benefit. The biggest is the fact that a project can be completed in less time, coming in ahead of schedule by as much as nine months. The cost is also kept at a level that is reasonable.

Living in the modern world means being comfortable. But that comfort does not come about by magic. No, it has to be built and maintained.
