740-1015: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages Modern methods of construction Modern methods of construction (MMC) is a term used mainly in the UK construction industry to refer to "smart construction" processes designed to improve upon traditional design and construction approaches by focusing on (among other things) component and process standardisation, design for manufacture and assembly ( DfMA ), prefabrication , preassembly , off-site manufacture (including modular building ) and onsite innovations such as additive manufacture ( 3D printing ). While such modern approaches may be applied to infrastructure works (bridges, tunnels, etc.) and to commercial or industrial buildings, MMC has become particularly associated with construction of residential housing. However, several specialist housing businesses established to target this market did not become commercially viable. The MMC term started to enter common industry use in

Additionally, gastrin, insulin, cholecystokinin, glucagon, and secretin have been reported to disrupt

814-661: The 2010s, as government backing (including via Homes England ) for MMC grew, several UK companies (for example, Ilke Homes , L&G Modular Homes , House by Urban Splash , Modulous, Lighthouse and TopHat) were established to develop modular homes as an alternative to traditionally-built residences. From its Knaresborough , Yorkshire factory (opened in 2018, closed in 2023), Ilke Homes delivered two- and three-bedroom 'modular' homes that could be erected in 36 hours. Homes England invested £30m in Ilke Homes in November 2019, and

The 2022 Playbook and TIP Roadmap also encouraged procurement of construction projects based on product 'platforms' ("Platform Design for Manufacture and Assembly, PDfMA") comprising kits of parts, production processes, knowledge, people and relationships required to deliver all or part of construction projects. The UK Government has also invested in MMC initiatives and businesses. During

888-526: The IPA's Transforming Infrastructure Performance committed the government to "smart construction, using modern methods, including offsite manufacture". It said: "Smart construction (or 'modern methods of construction') offers the opportunity to transition from traditional construction to manufacturing, and unlock the benefits from standard, repeatable processes with components manufactured offsite." Recognising that terms such as MMC, prefabrication and off-site construction were prone to different interpretations,

925-485: The MMC. Eating interrupts the MMC. For example, one study found that a continental breakfast of 450 Kcal causes the MMC to disappear for 213 ± 48 minutes. The number of calories and nature of food determine the length of the disruption with fats causing a longer disruption than carbohydrates which in turn cause a longer disruption than protein. Most of the cleaning waves in the MMC happen at night while we are asleep. For many people this will be sufficient to help maintain

962-745: The Movement for Innovation (M4I) and the Construction Best Practice Programme (CBBP). However, the emergence of some non-traditional methods substantially predated Egan's report; procurement of prefabricated homes , for example, was a UK government response to housing shortages after both World Wars, the CLASP created prefabricated schools in the late 1950s, and the 1964-1970 Labour government engaged in an "Industrialised Building Drive". MMC has been repeatedly advocated in UK government construction strategy statements including

999-402: The de-skilling impacts on traditional capabilities in local communities. Moreover, re-classifying activities as manufacturing rather than construction would also materially impact the headline labour productivity of the construction sector. Also "Off-site factories are essentially transient entities. There is hence no guarantee they will be able to supply replacement components in the future. And

1221-435: The interdigestive phase (i.e., between meals) and is responsible for the rumbling experienced when hungry. It also serves to transport bacteria from the small intestine to the large intestine and to inhibit the migration of colonic bacteria into the terminal ileum ; an impairment to the MMC typically results in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth . The MMC originates mostly in the stomach—although ~25% will arise from

1258-497: The more that manufactured components rely on 'high-precision engineering' the less malleable they are in terms of future adaptation." Migrating motor complex MMC was discovered and characterized in fasting dogs in 1969 by Dr. Joseph H. Szurszewski at the Mayo Clinic . He also showed that this activity stops upon eating a meal, and suggested that it induces a motor activity that acts as an "interdigestive housekeeper" in

1295-902: The sector". Following the July 2024 general election , a House of Lords Library report was published in August 2024 ahead of a scheduled debate in September 2024; it said the new Labour government would publish a new long-term housing strategy "in the coming months". MMC refers to a variety of off-site construction methods: During the early 2000s, the Housing Corporation classified a number of offsite manufacturing initiatives. Its classification included volumetric construction (e.g. bathroom and kitchen pods), panellised construction systems, hybrid construction (volumetric units integrated with panellised systems), sub-assemblies and components (e.g. floor and roof cassettes, wiring looms, pre-fabricated plumbing), and site-based MMC approaches. In 2017,

1332-429: The small intestine. These motor complexes trigger peristaltic waves , which facilitate transportation of indigestible substances such as bone , fiber , and foreign bodies from the stomach , through the small intestine , past the ileocecal sphincter , and into the colon . MMC activity varies widely across individuals and within an individual when measured on different days. The MMC occurs every 90–230 minutes during

1369-412: Was intended to regularise and refine the term MMC by defining the broad spectrum of innovative construction techniques being applied, enabling clients, advisors, lenders and investors, warranty providers, building insurers and valuers to all build a common understanding of the different forms of MMC use.
