We are excited to announce that our new ‘Prefabricated, modular and offsite construction handbook’ is now available. This handbook was developed in collaboration with Building 4.0 CRC and provides guidance on how to use prefabricated, modular and associated modern methods of construction technologies safely, sustainably and in compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC). The handbook covers: • Modern methods of Construction (MMC), systems, and products • How to determine the evidence needed to comply with the NCC • Factors influencing compliance outcomes when using MMC For more information and to access the ‘Prefabricated, modular and offsite construction handbook’, visit: https://lnkd.in/gaXcFFV6 #ModernMethodsofConstruction #ConstructionEducation
