Which of the following is identified as a disadvantage of MMCs?

Modern Methods of Construction rely on off-site fabrication and modular components, but reaping their benefits depends on a workforce trained to assemble those modules on site. When there is a lack of skills, training, and formal qualifications, firms struggle to adopt MMCs and the uptake remains low. This barrier directly limits implementation, even though MMCs can offer advantages like reduced waste and shorter construction times. So the identified disadvantage is that poor uptake arises from insufficient skills and training to assemble the modules.
