That's a helpful approach, and ought to be being factored in to risk appetite. But unless you're also guaranteeing them buyers at agreed prices and supplying the labour, materials and loan finance at agreed rates, there are still risks.

I mean sure, but supermarkets have risks too - bad harvests leading to supply shocks, sudden trade barriers, weather disruption, logistics breakdowns, demand fluctuations, inflation... They'll still get out of bed for 4%.

The construction industry needs a minor wakeup call is all I'm saying. We're not in a world where they get to choke off supply indefinitely anymore.
