Gordian Uses Reliable and Accurate Cost Data
A key reason customers choose Gordian is their unrivaled accuracy in procurement cost data, provided through their Construction Task Catalog® (CTC). A Construction Task Catalog is a comprehensive listing of construction tasks with pre-set unit prices. Each Gordian JOC program includes a detailed unit price book with over 275,000 construction tasks. This extensive catalog guarantees precise and fair pricing tailored to diverse project needs. With budgets tightening, facilities aging and community expectations expanding, these rigorously researched and verified prices enable users to get the most value for their money.
Gordian Helps Build Better Communities
Another one of the main reasons organizations choose Gordian is their people. Gordian employees are deeply invested in the communities where they live and work. This connection to local communities ensures that projects are delivered with care, precision and a commitment to making a positive impact.
Gordian believes that building better communities starts with understanding their clients’ unique needs and challenges. Team members actively participate in local events, volunteer initiatives and community planning sessions.
“…Having grown up in Southern California and [now] working in Southern California in the program that I manage, I work with a lot of state and local agencies and special districts through the program. For me, it’s really important to be able to drive by and say, ‘Hey, our company was involved in that.’ ‘Hey, we helped with that.’ ‘Hey, I worked with a contractor that built that.’ The fact that we’re [making an impact] at the community level [is] super important to me.”
— Tamiko Gutierrez, Regional Director, Gordian
