Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Modern Construction Methods: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dominic Stevens:
Much will depend on how it is defined. We have a number of 100-plus unit sites for which it is all off-site timber frame manufacture, which, in effect, is MMC. It depends how that is defined. In the world of private developer housing, the thing that stops it being purely MMC is that consumers want something that feels like a concrete block outside, so developers start on-site building for that reason alone. The core of the buildings we are doing, however, are all off-site MMC timber frame.
