Modern Methods,
Overview
Delivering greater efficiency, better quality and more sustainable outcomes, through Modern Methods of Construction.
We work closely with clients, contractors, and specialist suppliers to integrate modern construction methods into the design process from the outset. Our experience includes exploring the application of 2D and 3D MMC systems for a national residential housing programme, enabling informed decisions that balance quality, delivery, cost, and sustainability objectives.

Our Approach
How MMC is delivered in practice.
01
MMC Strategy
We identify the most suitable MMC solution for each project by assessing site constraints, programme, budget and whole-life carbon. Designs are typically developed to accommodate multiple MMC systems, providing flexibility to select the best solution as the project progresses.
02
Design knowledge and supply chain engagement
We have extensive in-house expertise across a range of MMC systems and work closely with industry specialists from the early design stages to help deliver the most effective project outcomes.
03
Striving for low embodied carbon
MMC systems reduce waste and support lean construction, improving build efficiency. Our expertise helps identify the most appropriate systems to further reduce embodied carbon and enhance project sustainability.
