Reasons to Choose GMP and Disadvantages to the Typical Cost-Plus Contract

 

Why should you choose the guaranteed maximum price delivery method?

GMP works well for simple projects, big box projects and small projects. It works well for clean sites and works best where draws are subject to a decent lender relationship and the processing firm is reasonable and pays promptly. But remember, it is not fair to foist design and schedule on general contractor, but then fail to actually give those responsibilities to the general contractor. This video reviews these reasons to choose the GMP, as well as discusses the disadvantages to the typical cost-plus contract with a GMP.
