Bel-Con Design-Builders Announces Strategic Partnership with Gordian | Kinetic

Bel-Con Design-Builders Ltd.  is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Gordian | Kinetic GPO that promises to enhance and simplify the construction procurement process for clients who have compulsory purchasing protocols. This collaboration introduces a streamlined approach that significantly reduces procurement time without affecting the benefit of cost efficiency through competitive bids.

Job Order Contracting

Gordian's position as the provider of North America's leading construction cost database and their three decades of expertise in construction procurement solutions allows Bel-Con to expand their service offerings and simplify the buying process for
current and prospective client. For facility owners and managers, this means access to a sophisticated procurement system that eliminates traditional bottlenecks in the construction process.

"Traditional construction procurement can be time-consuming and costly," said co-owner Tom Gunsinger. "Through this partnership, we're offering our clients access to Gordian's proven JOC solution, which fast-tracks projects without compromising quality or budget constraints."

The partnership delivers comprehensive services including:

• New construction projects
• Renovations and additions
• Maintenance and repair work
• Facility upgrades

What sets this partnership apart is Gordian's unique approach, which combines precise data, specialized software, and industry expertise to ensure overall project success. Their system has been trusted by thousands of organizations across North America to ensure safe and reliable infrastructure development within their communities.

Simplify the procurement process

For facility managers and purchasing departments, the benefits are substantial. The traditional procurement process, which typically involves extensive tender document preparation and bid qualification, is replaced with a streamlined system using pre-qualified contractors and a region-specific “Construction Task Catalogue” to ensure fair market pricing. This approach not only saves time but also helps organizations make the most of their construction budgets while maintaining high-quality standards.

"This partnership represents a win-win situation for both project owners and Bel-Con," said Michelle Stephens. "The Job Order Contracting solution helps organizations begin work faster while ensuring we can start and deliver projects more efficiently."

Gordian's comprehensive solution includes:

• Access to the most extensive construction cost database in North America
• Streamlined procurement processes for faster project initiation
• Facilities benchmarking data for informed decision-making
• Expert guidance for long-term capital planning
