What is a government support measure for MMCs?

Government support measures are ways policymakers encourage the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction by providing incentives and reducing barriers. Financial boosts to offsite construction projects directly help by lowering upfront costs, improving cash flow, and reducing risk for developers, making MMC more attractive. This type of support can take the form of grants, subsidies, tax relief, or favorable loans, and is a common tool to accelerate uptake in housing and public sector projects. The other options describe actions that aren’t about supporting MMCs: mandating its use in all housing imposes a requirement rather than a support, while prohibiting offsite manufacturing or imposing penalties on suppliers would deter or block MMC activity.
