Take Control of Weather Risk Across Your Portfolio

Q: How does WeatherWise help clients manage weather risk across multiple projects?

WeatherWise provides a portfolio-level dashboard that gives clients real-time visibility across all projects. Each project gets its own weather calendar and risk profile, while the portfolio view aggregates weather exposure, delay probability, and insurance status across the entire programme.

Q: What is integrated delay insurance?

Integrated delay insurance is a parametric weather insurance product backed by A-rated underwriters with up to £130m capacity. It pays out within 24-48 hours when weather thresholds are breached, covering up to £5m per project. Unlike traditional insurance, claims are triggered automatically by objective weather data — no loss adjuster required.

Q: Which contract forms does WeatherWise support?

WeatherWise is configured to align with NEC4 (compensation events under clause 60.1(13)), JCT (relevant events for adverse weather), FIDIC (exceptionally adverse climatic conditions), and ICC contract forms. Each contract type has specific threshold and evidence requirements that WeatherWise handles automatically.

The Project Resilience Framework gives project directors and risk teams a single source of truth for weather risk — replacing opaque contractor allowances with shared data, aligned contracts, and integrated insurance.

The Hidden Cost of Weather Risk

Weather delays extend construction projects by an average of 25.7% and inflate costs by 23.8%. Over 70% of construction managers report significant weather-related delays, and 39% face financial penalties as a result. Yet for most client organisations, weather risk remains a blind spot.

The traditional approach pushes weather risk entirely to contractors. Each contractor prices weather their own way — using flat-rate allowances, inconsistent historical data, or gut feel. The result is opaque contingency pots, adversarial claims when delays hit, and no portfolio-level visibility for the client.

When multiple contractors work across your programme, each with different weather methodologies, there is no single source of truth. Disputes centre on what the weather actually was, which activities were genuinely affected, and whether the delay was foreseeable. These disputes cost time, money, and relationships.

The Project Resilience Framework

A structured, four-step framework that transforms weather from an unmanaged risk into a controlled, insurable programme variable.

Schedule-Integrated Forecasting

WeatherWise ingests your project programme directly from Primavera P6, Asta Powerproject, or MS Project. Every activity gets its own weather profile based on 45+ years of historical data and 80+ weather variables, showing exactly which tasks are at risk and when.

Contract-Aligned Configuration

Weather thresholds are configured to match your contract form — NEC4 compensation events, JCT relevant events, FIDIC exceptionally adverse climatic conditions, or target cost mechanisms. The system produces evidence that maps directly to your contractual requirements.

Shared Client-Contractor Dashboards

Both client and contractor see the same data in real time. Shared dashboards show weather forecasts, workable day probabilities, and delay exposure for every activity. No more disputes about what the weather was — there is one objective record that both parties trust.

Integrated Delay Insurance

Parametric weather insurance backed by A-rated underwriters with up to £130m capacity. Policies cover up to £5m per project, paying out within 24-48 hours when weather thresholds are breached. Claims are triggered automatically by objective weather data — no loss adjuster, no dispute.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Project Resilience Framework?

The Project Resilience Framework (PRF) is EHAB's structured approach for clients to manage weather risk across their project portfolios. It combines schedule-integrated forecasting, contract-aligned configuration, shared client-contractor dashboards, and integrated delay insurance into a single unified system.

How does it work across multiple projects?

WeatherWise provides a portfolio-level dashboard that aggregates weather exposure, delay probability, and insurance status across all your projects. Each project gets its own weather calendar and risk profile, while the portfolio view gives you programme-level visibility that no individual contractor can provide.

What is integrated delay insurance?

Parametric weather insurance backed by A-rated underwriters with up to £130m capacity. Policies cover up to £5m per project and pay out within 24-48 hours when weather thresholds are breached. Claims are triggered automatically by objective weather data, so there is no loss adjuster and no dispute process.

How long does implementation take?

The initial implementation takes 30 days as a focused sprint covering one pilot project — including data ingestion, threshold configuration, dashboard setup, and team training. A 90-day portfolio rollout then extends the framework across your remaining projects.

Does this replace the contractor's weather management?

No. WeatherWise creates a shared single source of truth that both client and contractor use. The contractor retains responsibility for site-level weather management, but both parties work from the same data, the same thresholds, and the same dashboards — eliminating disputes about what the weather actually was.

Which contract forms are supported?

WeatherWise supports NEC4 (compensation events under clause 60.1(13)), JCT (relevant events for adverse weather), FIDIC (exceptionally adverse climatic conditions), and ICC contract forms. Each has specific threshold and evidence requirements that the system handles automatically.
