Will the contractor assume the risk of the total cost exceeding a maximum price?
The first element of a guaranteed maximum price contract is that it is a contract containing an agreement that the price will not exceed a specified maximum amount. That price is based upon a process estimate (often design build), instead of a clearly defined set of drawings and schedule. If the project is delivered for less than the GMP, the savings are shared in some way. The unique aspect is that the contract contains words that say that the general contractor will charge no more than this to complete a specific project. This video reviews attributions of a guaranteed maximum price contract.
