Spot the problem with modern methods of construction
Language: English Series: Construction Manager ; March 2006, 14-16(3)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: The findings of the Barker 33 Group into Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) have identified a number of reasons why it is not more widely used in the industry. These include lack of information, the relative newness of MMC and its consequent lack of a positive track record, cost, inadequate skills across the project team, and a feeling that MMC is being imposed on the industry. The Group has prepared a list of recommendations to overcome these problems, but believes the key is a change to the regulatory climate, which at present creates uncertainties which inhibit MMC.
