Our Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) service supports the delivery of high-quality, efficient, and sustainable buildings through innovative construction approaches. By using offsite manufacturing, precision engineering, and digitally coordinated design, MMC enables faster delivery, improved quality, and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional construction methods.
We work with clients, manufacturers, and contractors to design buildings that fully realise the benefits of MMC while meeting planning, regulatory, and performance requirements.
Designing for Modern Methods of Construction
Successful MMC projects require design teams with a clear understanding of manufacturing-led construction. We develop MMC-ready designs that are coordinated from the outset, ensuring buildability, accuracy, and efficiency.
Our MMC design services include:
- Modular and volumetric housing design
- Panelised and component-based construction systems
- Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA)
- Grid-based and standardised layouts
- Early coordination with manufacturers and suppliers
- Integration of structural, MEP, and façade systems
MMC for Housing and Residential Development
MMC is particularly well suited to housing delivery, including social housing, high-density residential, and estate regeneration projects. Our approach supports:
- Faster on-site construction and programme certainty
- Improved quality control and consistency
- Reduced disruption to surrounding communities
- Safer construction processes
- Reduced waste and embodied carbon
We design MMC solutions that align with housing standards, funding requirements, and long-term management needs.
Performance, Compliance, and Sustainability
Our MMC designs are developed to meet:
- Planning and building regulations requirements
- Fire safety and building safety compliance
- Energy efficiency and low-carbon targets
- Durability, maintenance, and lifecycle performance
By integrating MMC with low and zero carbon strategies, we help clients deliver buildings that are efficient, compliant, and future-proofed.
