How GMP Benefits Shovel Ready Projects
Posted on June 11, 2025 by Blake Backer
Navigating construction costs can be challenging, but by locking in a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), it allows you to keep your project on track and within budget. This is what makes our newest offering, 60-Unit OZ Workforce/Affordable Housing in Los Angeles, more uniquely positioned to deliver results.
Pinnacle Partners and Housing Diversity Corporation (HDC) recently hosted a webinar featuring Jeff Feinstein, Managing Partner of Pinnacle Partners, Brad Padden, Founder & CEO of HDC and Craig Haveson, Founder & President of STS Construction Services to discuss why a GMP matters and how it helps to provide more stability, especially during uncertain times.
