Modern Methods of Construction: Where UK Business Cases Are Holding Up
Modern methods of construction are moving from pilot phase to mainstream use in selected segments. The strongest results come where standardisation and delivery discipline are high.
Where MMC Performs Best
Repeatable building types and predictable procurement environments tend to produce clearer benefits.
In highly bespoke projects, value realisation is more variable and requires tighter controls.
Commercial Reality
Successful programmes align contracting structures, design processes, and quality assurance from the outset.
Misalignment between these elements is a common source of underperformance.
Strategic Outlook
MMC is best viewed as a portfolio capability with selective deployment criteria, not a universal replacement strategy.
Businesses that apply it pragmatically are capturing efficiency gains while controlling risk.
