Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment: Definition, Example

What is a Guaranteed Maximum Price Amendment?
A guaranteed maximum price amendment is a contract between a contractor and client that sets a certain maximum price the client pays for construction services. This price is inclusive of all labor, material, and other incidental charges and only indicates the maximum amount a contractor can bill. Usually, the final bill comes out to be less than the guaranteed maximum price. However, even if the cost for labor and materials surges over the maximum, contractors cannot bill clients beyond this number.
The guaranteed maximum price amendment is intended to protect consumers from being surprised with unexpected charges. It also holds construction companies accountable for providing accurate estimates that aren't misleading to the general public.
