How to Audit a Commercial Contractor's Bid: Spotting the Padding — J Forrest Development

03/06/2026

The GMP Reality Check!
The Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) is often viewed as a safety net for developers. But in my experience, if you aren't looking at the fine print, that "guarantee" only protects the contractor’s margins, not your capital. A GMP is only as good as its clarifications and exclusions. Without a forensic audit of the bid, you’re often left exposed to change orders that can blow a pro-forma apart mid-build. At J. Forrest Development, we look past the bottom line to understand exactly where the risk is being shifted. Don't accept the first number. Understand the assumptions behind it.
