What is MMC?

The MMC definition framework provides a new regularised terminology for ‘Modern Methods of Construction’ used in homebuilding.
Emanating from the UK government, MMC gives social housing providers and their homebuilding partners a common language that will aid collaboration and further adoption of pre-manufacturing, site based materials and process innovations.

LHC wants to help social housing providers in every part of the UK to deliver more homes, much faster and with a lower environmental impact.
LHC’s NH2 and MB2 Frameworks cover categories 1 and 2 of the MMC definition framework.
