New Member Spotlight: Trident Actuators

Blog Feature: Using Multiple GMPs to Save Time and Streamline Project Delivery
For large-scale infrastructure projects, especially those with multiple components and interdependent phases, determining the right guaranteed maximum price (GMP) execution strategy can significantly impact project success. This was the case for the Hochatown Offsite Improvements project, a critical infrastructure initiative supporting Choctaw Nation’s new Choctaw Landing resort in Oklahoma.
