Despite having been an already fairly popular choice for healthcare construction, twinned with the Government’s drive to build back better, greener, faster, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated demand for Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and shone further light around the benefits of modular when compared to more traditional alternatives. Although this is not strictly related to healthcare, the majority of it certainly is, and this shows the sheer scale of the rise in demand for modular construction. “MMC can cut build times by 50%”AdvertisementDuring a period in which demand was driven by speed and cost efficiency, modular solutions offered NHS Trusts exactly that. When compared with traditional construction methods, MMC can cut build times by as much as 50%, dependent on the various factors at play. With such pressures on the NHS, speed and minimal disruption have been exceptionally important, and the figures speak for themselves when it comes to the increase in MMC demand.
