Most builders have endured a run of loss-making projects in recent times; combine this with a lack of new commencements and some are desperate for a new contract.

‘Good’ builders are increasingly losing contracts to builders that are in survival mode: how do you compete with a builder who has no intention of making a profit and is willing to accept risks that no rational builder would or should just to keep the lights on?

Not only does IPEX serve to help ‘good’ builders to stand out, it effectively removes dishonest competition; distressed builders will always fight the use of IPEX – this response helps to identify them and rule them out.
