While we do our best to provide budget estimates that are as accurate as possible, there are inevitably times when projects bids come in higher than the client expected, or that unanticipated costs push the job over-budget. If the client ends up wanting something other than what is in the drawings, it results in a change order.

Job Order Contracting (JOC) has been distorted into a way to simply speed the procurement of repair, renovation, and new build construction, bypassing procurement rigors and doing little to assure mutually beneficial benefit to owners and design-builder or overall efficiency.

For instance, a landlord who buys the property being constructed and is using property management software will likely have to schedule contractors a lot of the time if the construction is poor, to begin with.

Each milestone or phase — from design to plan to build — requires many data handover cycles, increasing opportunities for rework. For example, if each clash costs $3,500 per instance (PWC, 2018), it’s difficult for estimators and project managers to ensure each project is profitable during the planning phases of a project.

If the core remains in this position then it must be designed explicitly for the torsion. However, this arrangement lacks the good torsional stiffness of the previous arrangements due to the eccentricity of the core. It is far preferable to adopt a symmetrical arrangement to avoid this.

Indeed some beams, particularly in seismic areas are designed to act both compositely and non-compositely in the same span. More efficiently, they can act compositely with the in-situ concrete.
