About the Book

Modern Methods of Construction: Foundations, Processes and Applications is an essential reference on the principles and practices of modern methods of construction (MMC), and their role in construction process improvement. Covering a broad range of approaches, including offsite manufacturing, modular building and lean construction, the book combines theoretical insights with practical evidence to provide a comprehensive resource on the applications and benefits of MMC across different sectors.

The book covers a range of topics, including
• theoretical foundations and the different types of MMC
• digital technologies as enablers of MMC
• evidence of performance impact benefits of MMC
• actionable strategies and practical frameworks for addressing common barriers to adoption and implementation
• international case studies across sectors, highlighting specific applications, project outcomes, lessons learned and best practices.

Modern Methods of Construction: Foundations, Processes and Applications provides essential knowledge on the transformative potential of MMC in the construction sector. It provides a valuable resource for professionals, whilst also offering a well-rounded perspective for researchers, advanced construction management students and educators.
