JOC is most commonly used for a wide variety of renovation, repair, minor construction and recurring construction project needs. Multiple projects can be grouped together under one JOC contract, lowering time and costs. JOC is well-matched to meet many of the project needs of facility owners involved in public education, municipalities, local, state, federal agencies and the military.
