Benefits of MMC Housing
-
Panelised construction resulting in more economic transportation, thus having a reduced impact on the environment when compared with other prefabricated, volumetric structures
Reduced carbon footprint in construction and in use
Local manufacturing hub facilities can be implemented that will therefore employ staff locally, in line with the current Government’s Levelling Up Policy.
Fast-track factory assembly and on site construction - 6 Week Full Build
Ability to incorporate a menu of Smarter Technologies and ‘bolt-on’ construction and fit-out options to suit developer and occupier needs
Assembly techniques such that restricted access sites become accessible
Ease of site assembly, negating the use of scaffold and heavy plant thus reducing the risks associated with working at heights. Height work would all be by way of mobile elevated working platforms
-
Screw pile construction so minimal ground intervention and a more constant heat source
Sustainable materials constructed off site to contribute to zero carbon emission homes
The constituent parts of the construction have been selected to ensure efficient recycling at the end of life of the house, minimum 65 years and qualify for warranties
Extremely high levels of air tightness and reduced thermal bridges in the panellised construction preserve heat in winter and cool air in summer
-
Local manufacturing facilities can be implemented that would employ locally, in line with the current Government’s Levelling-Up Policy
Apprenticeship schemes would operate in each of the factories with options to continue with site assembly training
