The use of modern methods of construction

The NHBC Foundation’s launch project focuses on the use of modern methods of construction (MMC) and detailed issues relating to modular and panelised construction, alongside other methods of off-site manufacture. At the time of publication, MMC was being widely incorporated into new developments as a potential way of speeding up the delivery on new homes but, as with any new technology, there are associated risks and the guide looks at how these could be mitigated.
