_______________________________________________________________________________________ Modular construction
secure a contract , suppliers are required to show that pre-manufacturing will account for at least 70 per cent of their construction cost , which plays to the strength of a volumetric modular approach .
Transformative technology
The MMC sector for category one ( volumetric ) and category two ( panelised systems ) is an interesting place to be . The levels of investment and innovation are astounding and as with any transformative technology , there will be hurdles to overcome . Our industry unlike others , has nothing to fear from the legislation surrounding the predicted Future Homes Standard and the road to achieve net zero targets in commercial buildings is a well mapped route .
The MPBA and our members firmly believe that the benefits of manufactured buildings begin in the factory , continue on to the construction site and last through the lifetime of the building . ■
The Modular and Portable Building Association www . mpba . biz
The Modular and Portable Building Association plays a key role in supporting all sections of the industry . Leading best practice principles , the association is represented on many committees for the benefit of members . Most importantly , the MPBA ensures evolving government policies and decisions are not made on behalf of the construction industry without due consideration for the impact they may have on the volumetric modular sector .
