Communities orbit around their school districts. Parents move to neighborhoods with excellent schools nearby. Entire communities come together to cheer on high school football teams on Friday nights. And in November, schools host elections — the ultimate expression of community priorities. School facilities are the heart of American cities and towns. Gordian offers a range of tools to help you keep that heart beating strong.
The construction procurement process can be burdensome. That’s a problem when you have only a summer to finish renovations, repairs and alterations. After all, students can’t learn and teachers can’t teach inside a construction zone. That’s why school districts across the U.S. turn to Gordian’s Job Order Contracting. Job Order Contracting is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction delivery method that allows a large number of projects to be completed with a single, competitively-awarded contract. Ideal for completing work in short time frames like summer or winter break, this single-bid process empowers you to start projects faster.
Your district has projects scheduled years in advance. It also has projects that need to be done next week. In either case, you need accurate construction costs to budget for the work and to validate contractor quotes. Gordian’s RSMeans data has been synonymous with accurate costs since the 1940s. With 92,000+ costs researched and validated by a team of engineers, you can rely on it to help with projects your staff, your students and their parents, and your community can be proud of.
Whether you need to build a data-supported budget, gain insight into the true conditions of your facilities or forecast maintenance needs, Gordian can help you take informed, decisive action to build a sustainable future. Gordian’s extensive suite of facilities planning solutions gives you all the objective insight, technology and trusted expertise you need to strategically manage your building portfolio.
