4. Guaranteed Maximum Pricing (GMP) estimating process.

   • Nexus 5 Group will provide pricing at 3 stages of the design process, schematic design, design development, and construction documents.  During the 1st two stages Nexus 5 Group will solicit subcontractor pricing from one subcontractor in each CSI category.  At the construction document stage, Nexus 5 Group will solicit bids from a minimum of three pre-qualified subcontractors or suppliers in each category.  An onsite meeting is coordinated for all subcontractors to evaluate existing site conditions. Subcontractor and supplier proposals are then evaluated for completeness and accuracy prior to inserting the numbers into our proprietary software. An in-house executive review is conducted on all proposals prior to presentation to the owner.

   • Scope changes – Any scope changed to the project will be priced and presented to the owner for approval prior to work proceeding.  Cost for the scope changes will either be absorbed by the project contingency or will be an adjustment to the GMP for the project, based on the owners direction.
