Project alliance is a relatively fresh project delivery method where the owner and service providers, the designer and the constructor, share the risks of the project in order to intensify their collaboration for the best of the project. Experiences from the model from “down under”, where it has broken through, reached Finland some years ago. Since then, the Finnish Transport Agency (incl. its predecessors) has been intending to introduce the system in its transport infrastructure projects. The paper discusses related challenges and sheds light on an industry-wide joint effort and the progress made to date. In that respect, the development of the qualitative team selection process and criteria are presented in more detail. Moreover, the paper introduces the first two projects that are to apply the project alliance model: a rural rail renovation and an urban road tunnel construction one. The ambience generated by the efforts so far is promising, and it seems that all the parties look forward to taking up the practical work and seizing available benefits
