The MMC definition framework is a new seven category definition framework that enables a full and future-proofed range of “Modern Methods of Construction” used in homebuilding to be better understood with regularised terminology.

The definition framework spans all types of pre-manufacturing, site based materials and process innovation.

This definition framework is an output of the MHCLG Joint Industry Working Group on MMC which is tasked with improving stakeholder education and understanding of MMC with particular reference to enabling better access to mortgage finance, insurance and assurance.
