The Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)definition framework was published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) in 2019. It categorised different forms of innovative construction methodologies aiming to regularise terminology within the sector and aide understanding and ultimately greater uptake of offsite manufacturing for construction. Of its seven categories, the first five are identified as Off- or Near-site pre-manufacturing and the last two relate to site-based process improvements.
