Modern Methods of Construction employ state-of-the-art techniques to build high-quality structures rapidly and affordably, while also providing alternatives to traditional methods. These methods include a variety of off-site manufacturing and on-site processes. Compared to conventional building methods, MMC construction techniques provide a quicker construction solution.
For construction projects in the public sector, the UK government has been promoting and rewarding the use of Modern Methods of Construction more and more.
The Joint Industry Working Group on MMC of MH CLG created a defining framework for MMC. It has seven categories, ranging from process innovation to pre-manufacturing. These seven groups consist of:
MMC results in a staggering waste reduction of up to 95% compared to traditional building methods. This waste reduction minimises environmental impact and promotes sustainability.
MMC prioritises safety with enriched construction techniques, lowering the chance of calamities and injuries on-site. By enforcing strict safety measures, MMC ensures a safer working environment for construction workers.
MTX structures can save up to 50% on the programme compared to typical options because the sub-structure is prepared on-site, and the buildings are pre-manufactured to exact specifications off-site. This expedites the return on investment.
Off-site construction leads to a reduction of up to 45% in carbon emissions, a decrease of 60% in waste generation, and enhanced material utilisation ensuring a low carbon construction.
Less noise and disturbance are associated with off-site construction, which is particularly beneficial in sensitive healthcare settings.
The Build offsite research from 2016 states that manufacturing settings can be 80% safer than on-site circumstances.
Factory employment is less expensive than on-site labour, making the former a more economical option.
The focus of modern construction methods is on off-site construction processes as alternatives to traditional buildings, such as factory assembly and mass production.
According to reports, the method allows to produce more high-quality dwellings in a shorter amount of time.
The process of manufacturing modules or building components off-site in a regulated factory setting is known as modular construction. After that, these modules are delivered to the site where they will be assembled. With its focus on modular building, Centene Construction provides a simplified and effective method that reduces construction time and site disturbance. We guarantee precise specifications, high-quality construction, and less material waste by prefabricated modules in a facility.
Precast concrete involves pouring concrete components—like floors, walls, and beams—away from the building site in a controlled setting. After being delivered to the construction site, these precast parts are combined to create the finished structure.
Utilising precast concrete technology, Centene Construction builds sturdy, long-lasting structures faster than the industry average. Precast concrete has benefits like better structural performance, faster construction, and better-quality control.
The panel units are made “off-site” in our factory using a quality-controlled procedure, and then the three-dimensional off-site manufactured components are assembled on-site. The panels may consist of cassettes, which are modules fastened to the ceiling, walls, or floors.
Centene Construction as a volumetric construction company offers panelised systems as part of its MMC services, delivering cost-effective and efficient building solutions. Panelised systems provide enhanced quality control, expedited construction, and decreased personnel requirements on-site.
Insulated concrete formwork (ICF) is a temporary formwork that primarily uses polystyrene. Concrete is poured into the formwork core at staged lifts to create the structural ‘wall’ component that bears the building’s weight down to the foundations; these walls can be either internal or external.
Centene Construction as a ICF construction company integrates ICF technology into its MMC services to provide energy-efficient and resilient building envelopes.
ICF construction offers enhanced thermal performance, sound insulation, and durability.
Centene Construction is a master at using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) to produce timely and innovative construction solutions. When compared to conventional methods, we can drastically shorten project durations because of our proficiency with MMC techniques like precast concrete and modular construction as a leading precast concrete company.
We are committed to sustainable construction techniques that reduce their negative effects. MMC methods, such as off-site manufacturing and timber framing, cut down on energy and material waste, making buildings greener and leaving less of a carbon imprint.
We provide cost-effectiveness that maximises resources and reduces costs by employing MMC. Overall project savings can be attributed to fewer labour requirements on-site, optimised building procedures, and reduced material waste.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) refer to innovative techniques and processes used in the construction industry to improve efficiency, sustainable construction, and quality. The building components are manufactured and assembled off-site using these processes, and then the completed assemblies are shipped to the construction site.
MMC project costs can change based on several variables, including material selections, site circumstances, and project complexity. MMC can result in long-term savings through shortened construction times, lower labour costs, and increased efficiency, even though its off-site manufacture and delivery may result in higher initial costs.
With careful integration of MMC components with conventional construction processes, Centene Construction maximises the advantages of MMC procedures while providing flexibility and customisation. We provide bespoke solutions that align with our client’s goals and blend perfectly with ongoing activities or structures.
