52 INDUSTRY VIEWFINDER: SOLVING THE HOUSING CRISIS VIA OFFSITE CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM ASSESSMENT What are the biggest benefits of building offsite?


WHY IS MMC NECESSARY?


When it came to our respondents’ belief that modular technologies have the potential to aid some of the key issues the sector faces at present, the response was fairly consistent with our previous  study  the vast maority believing the technologies can either positively or very positively affect all the challenges listed.


The introduction of odern ethods of onstruction was seen by 21% of the survey respondents as having the potential to very positively’ affect housing supply, for instance, down ust  year on year, and the maority ,  on the  study believed the technology could positively affect it. This was followed by   believing the issue could be negatively affected, and ,  very negatively.’ uch the same as housing supply, when it came to the sills crisis,  up  on  study believed  could very positively affect the issue, followed by   positive,   negatively and   very negatively. ext, ,  on ’s ndustry iewfinder survey said they believed the technology could very positively affect housebuilding costs,   positively,   negatively,


and   very negatively. This year, we also ased if our respondents believed  could help the construction industry tacle another maor hurdle facing the sector – reaching net zero targets. As with the other issues, the maority  believe it could help, with only  saying it wouldn’t help towards net zero – though almost a uarter  were unsure.


hen ased to rate the biggest benefits of modular technologies overall, the results were also generally in line with our previous 2021 study.


peed was cited as the biggest benefit of building offsite again this time around, followed once again by efficiency, then quality, environmental impact, precision of construction, safety and skills.


The least popular options appeared in a slightly different order – with supply listed next by this year’s respondents, then ensuring as designed performance, and driving industry collaboration last our  respondents’ order of preference was firstly asdesigned performance, then supply, and finally industry collaboration.
