There is no motivation for a Builder with existing cash flow issues to attempt to ‘buy’ a project; why bother when you can’t use the money? IPEX levels the playing field, leaving only financially sound bidders in the race & encouraging contracts to be awarded at fairer margins.

Unlike typical risk-mitigation processes (i.e. stat decs), IPEX lets Builders prove they are doing the right thing, making change to several ‘standard’ payment processes possible. IPEX may help Builders to reduce security requirements in some instances, whilst also creating the potential for the release of funds in advance for site establishment/long lead time material deposits.

Any Builder choosing to work under IPEX conditions is significantly lowering the risk of non-payment for Sub-Contractors & Suppliers, helping to instil trust & stand out as a Builder of choice in a market where labour shortages are widespread.

Builders that find themselves in cash flow difficulty on a project may choose to bring IPEX to their client as a means of confirming that their request is genuine (a payment through IPEX doesn’t help their position on any other project) & increase their chances of securing the additional funds they need.
