Details
Homes England have commissioned a significant research programme to evidence the impact of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) deployment within the housing sector across 8 pilot sites, totalling approximately 1800 homes.
It’s hoped that the evidence of the benefits of MMC use will provide greater confidence to the industry, investors, insurers and customers to support its use across the sector.
The key drivers for this Homes England Research commission are to:
- establish a robust data set on the construction of homes utilising MMC
- provide the housing industry with confidence in the use of MMC to deliver homes, based on a verified body of data
- establish a benchmark approach to collecting data on MMC homes
Whilst acknowledging the importance of the design and planning phases, the research will focus primarily on the effects of MMC use during the delivery phases of the development processes.
