Accelerating housing delivery with modern methods of construction (MMC)
Why choose MMC?
Modern methods of construction (MMC) offer a transformative approach to housing delivery. Offsite manufacturing helps social landlords overcome workforce shortages and meet ambitious build targets more quickly, sustainably and with greater quality assurance. As part of the UK government’s £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme, at least 25% of funded homes must be built using MMC.
Procurement made simple
