Campus facilities leaders and infrastructure owners are responsible for diverse portfolios of physical assets and must make important decisions regarding how they allocate their limited capital and human resources, all while adhering to complex regulations.
Gordian’s Construction Procurement Solutions are proven to help owners engage local contractors, accelerate the projects that matter most and spend capital wisely and responsibly while balancing campus sustainability.

Gordian’s Job Order Contracting (JOC) solutions provide you with immediate access to highly qualified, local contractors who know that better work creates more potential to participate in your JOC program. This performance-based contract results in collaboration, responsive service and high-quality work.
