Exposure found before purchase

A housebuilder priced flood and heat risk into 14 land deals.

What we did

Calder buys land five years before it builds.

What we did

  • Screened 14 sites under three warming scenarios
  • Costed drainage, shading and insurance by plot
  • Set an embodied carbon limit per home

The result

Two sites dropped, three repriced, £8.6m of exposure avoided.

They told us not to buy two sites. That advice has already paid for the next ten years of their fees.
