Modern methods of construction (MMC) are techniques and technologies that are used to build homes and other buildings in an efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective manner. These methods can involve the use of prefabricated or modular components that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site, as well as the use of innovative materials and techniques that can help to reduce construction times and costs.
Some examples of modern methods of construction include:
-
Prefabricated construction: This involves the use of prefabricated components that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site. This can help to reduce construction times and improve the accuracy and quality of the finished structure.

-
Modular construction: This involves the use of modular units that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site. Modular construction can be particularly efficient for the construction of multi-unit housing, such as apartments or townhouses.

-
Panelized construction: This involves the use of prefabricated panels that are manufactured off-site and then assembled on-site. These panels can include structural elements, such as walls and floors, as well as finishes, such as plasterboard and insulation.

-
Light steel frame construction: This involves the use of thin, lightweight steel frames to support the structure of a building. This method of construction can be particularly efficient for the construction of multi-story buildings and can be used in combination with other modern methods of construction, such as prefabricated panels.
