MMC Advisor is a term that refers to a consultant who specializes in modern methods of construction. They provide expert guidance and support to clients who are interested in adopting MMC techniques for their construction projects. MMC advisors have expertise in a wide range of MMC techniques, including offsite construction, prefabrication and modular construction. They work with clients in the early stages of a project to help identify whether MMC is suitable and if so which techniques meet their needs. They can also provide advice on project planning, budgeting, and procurement including selection of suppliers.

This is exactly what Off Site Construction Advice Ltd was set up to do and has been doing for more than ten years. To see more visit our website.

The first thing an MMC Advisor should do is assess if the project is suitable for MMC and if so which techniques will provide the best methods of construction. To do this, it is critical to get an MMC Advisor in early.

A key part of the role is identifying any areas which can be optimised and streamlined by using MMC. There are often opportunities to use MMC to speed up a process, or to save costs, and a good MMC Advisor will be able to spot this and inform the client before they commit to anything that will do the opposite.

MMC is not just about speeding up processes and cutting costs. It is also about ensuring the best job is done. MMC is ideal for quality control, with the use of prefabricated materials that will focus on reducing the chance of errors and ensuring everything is the most precise and safe that it can be. The Advisors also work with all necessary teams to ensure the MMC techniques are being delivered on time and on budget.

The best time to consult with an MMC advisor is at the beginning of a project. This allows the advisor plenty of time to discuss the MMC techniques they plan to use with all parties, including the construction teams and the stakeholders. An MMC advisor should work alongside the design team when planning a project, otherwise it may be too late.
