Join for Unmatched Trust and Visibility
Our project team leverages the Join collaborative project delivery platform throughout the entire project lifecycle, ensuring transparency, informed decision-making, and seamless communication.
Preconstruction:
During preconstruction, Join empowers teams to make data-driven decisions on all budget-impacting items. The platform allows us to visibly track the cost trendline in real time, ensuring alignment with the Owner’s target budget. Stakeholders, including the Owner, can access individual cost items—whether potential additions or deductions—to review detailed breakdowns, options, and supporting materials, offering unparalleled visibility into the decision-making process.
Simply put, the Owner has 24/7 access to project data and real-time cost insights.
Construction:
Decision-making doesn’t stop in preconstruction. Join provides construction teams with quick access to past project data, helping them identify solutions for similar challenges.
Throughout construction, Join serves as a centralized decision-making tool for:
- Managing and reviewing change orders
- Communicating the project timeline to stakeholders
- Tracking real-time contingencies and allowances
By integrating Join into our workflow, we enhance collaboration, minimize surprises, and keep the entire team aligned from start to finish.
Project Approach / Risks and Mitigation Strategies
⭐ This is where Join can become a game-changer for your team. When presenting a comprehensive and tailored plan for designing and building your client’s project—along with the key challenges you anticipate—highlight how Join streamlines decision-making at every stage. By enabling your team to identify, evaluate, and align on thousands of critical decisions, Join ensures that all stakeholders stay informed, engaged, and working toward a shared vision from start to finish.
Join for Mitigating Risk
Creating "items" in the Join collaborative project delivery platform is a powerful way to track, communicate, and mitigate project risks. Join enables stakeholders to assess potential cost and schedule impacts for each identified risk while facilitating the exploration of mitigation strategies to prevent costly surprises as the project progresses.
Key project risks where Join supports risk mitigation:
- Expedited Schedules
- Cost Escalation
- Long-Lead Items
- Supply Chain Disruptions
- Labor Availability
- Code/AHJ Requirements
- Existing Conditions
By integrating risk management into Join, project teams can proactively address challenges, optimize decision-making, and maintain project momentum.
Relevant Project Experience
A compelling way to showcase your team’s experience—both working together and on projects similar to the client’s—is by presenting a grid of key team members alongside the relevant projects they’ve collaborated on.
Equally impactful is incorporating this experience into your write-up and project data sheets, highlighting how your team met compressed schedules, maintained or improved budgets, and met quality, safety, or sustainability metrics using Join. If you're already tracking this data, that’s a valuable asset—it serves as concrete proof that your team has the expertise and track record to deliver success on the client’s proposed project.
