Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Modern Construction Methods: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. David Browne:

It has to be done at inception or briefing stage, when the tenders are going out for the initial design. If a building is designed for MMC at the start, it can be converted to traditional, but that cannot be done the other way around. There is a need to have the mindset of standardisation right from the start. It would have to be from the very beginning.
