City-Region Economic Development Institute,
Infrastructure Business Models and the
iBUILD on-line local infrastructure tool
Aims
• To describe the iBUILD infrastructure business model database
• The alternative infrastructure business model conceptual framework
Infrastructure business models
A business model describes the way inputs (finance, land,
labour, raw materials) and processes come together to
develop a revenue stream and create value over time.
Infrastructure business models (IBM) are defined by
iBuild as “the system of physical artefacts, agents, inputs,
activities and outcomes that aim to create, deliver and
capture economic, social and environmental values over the
whole infrastructure life cycle”.
The iBUILD on-line local infrastructure tool
• iBUILD has undertaken the first rigorous and objective analysis of the business models developed to create local infrastructure.
• The iBUILD on-line local infrastructure tool allows free access to anyone interested in developing or understanding local infrastructure business models.

iBUILD on-line local infrastructure tool
The tool allows users to filter the
databank by infrastructure segment,
region of operation and by three
characteristics of the business model:
finance methods; funding methods
and project leadership.
The Database
This tool or infrastructure business model
conceptual framework is based on the
analysis of over 140 infrastructure
business models, including current,
historical and planned developments
across the UK and internationally.
Conclusions Understanding the diversity of business models provides a
valuable tool to support the development of new and
alternative infrastructure business model development.
These IBM solutions include conventional and more radical or alternative solutions.
iBUILD has identified all financing and funding types that
are used to support the development of infrastructure and has
developed a tool that can be used to explore the most
appropriate financing and funding solutions for an
infrastructure development.
