Projects built using the alliance model hardly ever see issues that have to be processed in a court of law. This also saves shared funds. The construction industry is sick and tired of conflicts, and the alliance model presents an opportunity for change.

An environmental impact assessment standard for infrastructure construction is on its way, perhaps already in 2021. The industry needs a common calculation method for reliably comparing carbon dioxide emissions in tenders and competitive bidding.
