Avoiding the Pitfalls of GMP Contracting

 

Learn how to tailor construction management agreements to mitigate project issues and deliver successful projects.

Large-scale construction projects present a myriad of issues that developers need to effectively navigate. To mitigate these issues and deliver successful projects, developers need to tailor their construction management agreements. These agreements need to establish objective requirements governing construction manager's performance, clear and agreed-upon allocations of risk between the developer and construction manager, both pre-GMP and post-GMP, and straightforward mechanisms for dealing with project issues when they arise. To that end, this presentation analyzes the problems developers face and how the construction management agreement can be structured to anticipate likely issues and preemptively mitigate risk. Through objective provisions in the agreement, the parties can clearly define their rights and obligations and avoid unnecessary disputes during the project. The construction management agreement can also be designed to align the parties' interests and incentivize the construction manager's performance to meet certain developer objectives.
