The risk that matters most The dominant risk is a sustained construction downturn that compresses volume and price together. The scenario analysis quantifies this explicitly: in the downside case, committed liquidity is exhausted and equity value is impaired. Mitigation is structural, conservative gearing, a debt-service reserve, a revolving facility, staged capital and, for a genuine downside, a standby equity commitment from shareholders able to provide it. |
