Roadmap for Increased Adoption of Modern Methods of Construction in Public Housing Delivery

Housing for All recognizes that to meet this objective, the Irish construction industry must have the capacity to deliver the required new homes as efficiently and environmentally sustainable as possible. More widespread adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), an umbrella term for a range of innovative construction processes, is a key pillar of the Government’s approach to increasing innovation adoption and achieving productivity gains in the delivery of housing.

MMC represents a significant ongoing transformation in construction, incorporating increased levels of offsite manufacturing and assembly; new technologies, products, and building systems; and increased digitalization. Though factory-based offsite construction methods are not new, ongoing technological advances, the advent of digitalization, and the environmental sustainability imperative are promoting the continued evolution of the construction sector to deliver quality housing.
