The Gordian Group Facilitates First Canadian Job Order Contracting Project

MAULDIN, S.C., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Gordian Group, Inc. leaders in Job Order Contracting (JOC) products, services and solutions, announces the first ever Job Order has been issued in Canada by the City of Richmond, British Columbia.

Part of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, the City of Richmond is the first facility owner to implement a Job Order Contracting system in Canada. The city chose The Gordian Group's JOC Complete Solution® for its Job Order Contracting system through a competitive process. The issuance of this first Job Order represents a significant milestone in Gordian's ability to bring the benefits of the JOC Complete Solution to other countries.

"This is a significant step in our expansion plans," says Robert Coffey, President and CEO of The Gordian Group. "Job Order Contracting is not well known outside of the United States, so getting this program up and running is the tip of the iceberg to bring the cost and time savings Gordian Job Order Contracting provides to facility and infrastructure owners in Canada and other countries."

Because Job Order Contracting is a new concept in Canada, Gordian staff worked alongside City of Richmond personnel to complete all the due diligence needed, from researching and verifying cost data, configuring technical specifications, and working within the local procurement code, all to ensure the most efficient and effective program possible.

"As always, it's our field staff and the service they provide that makes the difference," says Coffey. "We go through similar processes for every client, but this obviously had some new challenges to navigate. We leaned on our experienced pool of Job Order Contracting professionals to provide whatever the City of Richmond needed to implement the program that will bring them the best results."

"The first job is underway, and we are confident that we will add yet another satisfied client to our growing list of Gordian Job Order Contracting users. This is only the beginning," said Rex DeMartini, Gordian's project manager for the City of Richmond's Job Order Contracting development and implementation contract.
