How a new collaborative way of working can help deliver better, more sustainable buildings at lower cost
The construction process is broken. Traditional conventions lead to lowest cost tendering and one-sided onerous contracts. Each party involved in a building project – the client, architect, engineer, contractor and their suppliers, is required to obtain their own expensive insurance policies such as professional indemnity, construction all risks, third party liability, product liability. The list goes on…
There are calls for more collaborative approaches to insurance and risk sharing to ensure better outcomes. Is there a solution out there?
Integrated Project Insurance or ‘IPI’ is an innovative model of procurement which unlocks the potential benefits of integrated collaborative working. IPI includes an innovative, blame-free insurance product which collectively insures the client and all the other project partners.
All the usual insurance products are covered under a single alliance contract, with conditions that incentivise shared responsibility. This eliminates the problems of conflicting insurance concerns and supports improved collaboration between all parties to deliver better outcomes and create value for all stakeholders.

In this time of climate crisis, the construction industry plays a pivotal role in shaping a greener future. This webinar shed light on the financial incentives already in place, and what more can be done, to encourage the construction and purchase of more environmentally friendly homes, providing valuable insights for funders, developers, landowners, operators, residents and policymakers alike. We explored the intersection of sustainable construction practices and financial benefits, showcasing how the housing industry can contribute to a more environmentally conscious and economically sound future.
Well also launched a new paper as part of our Build Net Zero NOW Campaign, titled “The Green Shift – The existing financial incentives for higher environmental performance of new homes”, authored by Rafe Bertram. The document is an exploration to see if a ‘tipping point’ has been reached, one where existing financial incentives provide high levels of environmental sustainability in a way that are financially advantageous for all stakeholders, and if this route is now the most financially viable option.
