The Department of Housing Local Government and Heritage, together with The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, have developed a short introductory guide to Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).
The intent of the MMC introductory guide is to provide information about MMC for the non-technical reader/general public. It has been awarded the Plain English Mark from the National Adult Literary Agency. It is also intended to enhance consistency of MMC terminology used across the public sector, and in turn increase awareness of the range of MMC solutions available in the market. It includes a description of MMC types, such as panelised timber frame and steel systems and volumetric systems and innovative construction methods used on site such as insulated concrete formwork. The guide is supported by illustrations of the various MMC building systems in situ.
