Multiple Choice

One expected outcome of MMC adoption is which of the following?

Modern Methods of Construction centers on off-site fabrication and standardized components to improve efficiency and predictability. By producing elements in a controlled factory setting, materials are used more precisely and waste is reduced, so eliminating unnecessary waste is a natural expected outcome of adopting MMC. In contrast, MMC is designed to shorten on-site activity, not increase it, since much of the work happens away from the site. Quality also tends to improve when components are manufactured under controlled conditions, rather than deteriorating. While costs can vary in practice, the aim of MMC is to reduce waste and achieve better overall efficiency, not to raise material costs.
