The National Economic and Social Council (NESC) has published a report: Boosting Ireland’s Housing Supply: Modern Methods of Construction.
“This report investigates the potential of modern methods of construction (MMC) to significantly boost housing supply. It highlights progress under the MMC roadmap, an important and ambitious State policy designed to achieve greater adoption of MMC, which is of a high quality and complies with Building Regulations, in public housing delivery and in the housing system more widely.
Drawing on primary research, investigation and dialogue among key stakeholders, the report examines the benefits and challenges associated with MMC. It finds that greater adoption of MMC for residential development can be a ‘game changer’ for the Irish housing system, as it can drive higher productivity gains, substantially increase housing supply, and help meet the environmental goal of decarbonising housing – both new and existing stock.”
