The Shared Savings GMP Pitch

Recommended Spoken Script
"A GMP contract gives you 100% budget certainty: you never pay a penny over the $18.5M ceiling. Furthermore, our open-book accounting returns 75% of all unused subcontractor contingency savings directly to your development fund, aligning our incentives to build faster and under budget."
