SERVICES
Construction
The contractor agrees to build a project with a specific scope for a fixed price. A lump-sum contract is suitable if the scope and schedule of the project are sufficiently defined to allow the contractor to fully estimate project costs.
A guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract is a cost-type contract, in which the construction contractor is compensated for actual costs incurred, plus a fixed fee subject to a ceiling price. The contractor is responsible for cost overruns, unless the GMP has been increased via formal change order as a result of additional scope from the client. Savings resulting from cost under runs are returned to the client.
