Knowing About A Job Order Contract

By Henry Hall


From the moment a person is born, they are immediately foisted with a number of expectations, given a set of milestones that society dictates they must reach. The very first thing that they shall be expected to do is to cry out, because them making noise is supposed to let their parents as well as other assorted onlookers know that they are not in fact dead, that they did not come into the world having already left it. After that, they shall then be expected to be taken home where they will give their parents many a sleepless night. Eventually though, society expect for them to grow up. While they do so, they are to be educated, and then an individual is to find employment. Throughout the course of that education and employment, they are also supposed to find love, preferably with someone of the opposite gender though attitudes are changing regarding that. Then they are to procreate. They are also supposed to find work, and some of them will use a job order contract when they do.

A JOC is a kind of contract. Like any contract, it is an agreement between more than one party. Now, a JOC generally covers the area of construction.

The main benefit of a JOC is how much it streamlines the process. As such, jobs get done quicker. It also formalizes the relationship between an owner and a contractor.

Now, a contractor, generally speaking, is a person or a company that is hired to do a job because they have the skill to do so. When people think of one, they often think of someone who is engaged in construction. That is the most popular image that springs to mind when the word is uttered.

Contractors are needed for one reason. Society has a division of labor. One person heals, another stops crime, another commits crime, and so on and so forth. As such, not everyone will have the skills needed to get a construction project done.

Mankind likes to record its information. The evidence for that can be seen in cave paintings. Well, the internet is the single greatest repository of information that mankind has ever put together. It has every scrap of knowledge stored in it, everything from how man first learned to control fire to templates for a JOC, so it can be an invaluable resource when looking for such a template.

A JOC has a lot to cover. One of the many things it does is the long term relationship between an owner and a contractor. Some of them will have a provision that the contractor be on call just in case any new construction needs pop up.

Now, human beings are social animals. This means that they build relationships with one another. A JOC can help to facilitate the working relationship between two parties, so that everyone is able to make a profit.

The thing about the world was that it was not supposed to be easy to live in. In fact, it was supposed to be hard. But humanity was stubborn enough to make it easy.
