Green Skills – Introduction to Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) Fully Funded courses at Weymouth College – Empowering the housing sector with tools to support challenges facing the construction industry (LSIF)

As a country we are continuing to fail to meet build targets, leaving many families living in temporary accommodation, unfit or unsuitable accommodation. Much of this delay is considered to be driven by build cost inflation, planning delays, nutrient neutrality and other factors.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) is regularly raised as an opportunity for the residential sector to learn from lessons of modern methods of construction that excel in the retail, health and education sector.  So why has MMC not provided the same benefits in the housing sector.
