Multiple Choice

Which of the following is an example of MMC?

MMC means making building components in a factory and then assembling them on site. The example shown—prefabricated floor cassettes and wall panels produced off-site—fits this because it uses factory-made modules designed for quick assembly on-site. Off-site production offers tighter quality control, faster construction, less on-site disruption, and typically less waste. In contrast, traditional brick-and-mortar construction is built directly on site, and a steel frame erected entirely on-site or timber framing assembled with standard on-site methods relies more on on-site fabrication and assembly rather than factory-made components. So off-site prefabricated panels and floor cassettes embody MMC.
