Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is changing the landscape of construction in the UK.
These strategies are designed to create more high-quality homes in a shorter timeframe, while endeavouring to reduce waste and impact on the environment.
MMC encourages the use of offsite manufacturing and alternative onsite methods instead of traditional methods that have shaped construction as we know it.
Leading MMC practices cover the entire building process—from design and planning to manufacturing, logistics, and onsite assembly.
MCC has the potential to provide significant advantages for housebuilders, including shortened construction timelines, reduced costs, minimised waste, and elevated quality standards.
MMC provides quicker, more sustainable, and cost-efficient construction. It enables the industry to create the high-quality housing and infrastructure that the UK requires for the future. These extensive benefits are encouraging more developers and contractors to embrace modern methods.
By utilising innovative offsite manufacturing and advanced technologies, MMC facilitates greater productivity and quality while minimising waste.
The Timber Frame method of housebuilding is a great example and has been widely adopted by housebuilders across the UK in recent years and lends itself to the MMC Framework developed by the UK government.
The OSC products were originally created by tradespeople working in the industry, primarily as a safety solution, however, our systems have been proven to enhance productivity, as well as reduce build times and costs. Our systems are reusable, portable, and can be adapted to the different property types in the housebuilders portfolio.
Working closely in partnership with our customers, who are among the leading housebuilders in the UK, we have further developed our range of products to support the increased demand for housing and meet sustainability targets, including reduced waste and lower CO2 emissions such as those proposed in The Future Homes standard.
1. Eco-friendly: Our systems are designed to be reusable and can easily be moved to different properties and locations thanks to their robust, lightweight, and portable nature.
2. Time and space saving: Thanks to XSpan technology, our systems can be set up faster than other options that need larger vehicles for delivery and specialized teams for installation. When not in operation, our systems are compact and occupy very little space on-site.
3. Reduced Construction times and costs: With our systems in place, access and visibility between floors is maintained, allowing work to proceed both above and below, which enables tradespeople to work at the same time, thereby cutting down on construction time and expenses.
4. Adaptability: Our systems can be modified to fit various sizes and layouts of properties, making them highly versatile while still offering a secure access work platform and fall protection solution.
