DLUHC shares the cross-government objective of increasing the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). MMC provides an important opportunity to improve the quality of new homes, deliver greater energy efficiency, reduce construction waste, improve productivity and address the shortage in construction skills.
New technology and innovation have improved productivity, quality and choice across a range of sectors and the Government wants to see the same happen in housing.
Building regulations apply equally to homes built using Modern Methods of Construction as those built using traditional methods. Developers are responsible for carrying out a full risk assessment of any construction project, including ensuring any new techniques are used correctly.
