In 2018, we asked whether it was time to take modular construction more seriously. Seven years later, our latest report revisits that question and explores how the landscape has evolved. While some challenges remain, there are also clear signs of progress and renewed momentum.
The 2025 edition of our MMC report examines the current state of modern methods of construction in housing, including updated definitions, legal frameworks, design guidance, and the impact of government investment. It also considers the practical realities of factory-based construction, from quality assurance and transportation to insurance and skills shortages.
With the government’s target of building 1.5 million homes and a growing focus on affordable housing, the potential for industrial construction to play a central role in housing delivery has never been greater.
