Why now is the time for MMoC?
Data source: Capital Projects after COVID-19: The Role of Digitization in shaping the future of the Industry (McKinsey Global Infrastructure Initiative -May 26, 2020)
New technology developments, such as advanced building materials, 3D printing, cloud, big data, and IoT Industry 4.0 connectivity, are driving a new paradigm shift in the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction by enabling:
- A shift to off-site construction
- Improved sustainability
- Reduced costs
- Increased productivity
MMoC will be particularly effective in regions where there are labour and housing shortages—the UK Government is leading the way by starting to mandate MMoC approaches in its public sector projects.
What are the benefits of MMoC?
Modular construction can speed up construction by as much as 50% and cut costs by 20%. It’s estimated that modular construction will claim $130bn of the market and deliver annual cost savings of $22bn by 2030.
Key Challenges MMoC addresses:
- Sustainability
- Carbon-zero goals/climate change
- Productivity/Infrastructure gap
- Worksite health and safety (post-COVID-19)
- Talent gap and ageing workforce
