What our members say
‘The UK continues to face a housing shortage and it’s now widely accepted that modern methods of construction (MMC) have a significant role to play in delivering the number of new homes needed. However, the need to drive change in the industry remains. Through its publications and forums, The Housing Forum continues to act as a catalyst for the future of MMC and we’re proud to be part of that journey.’
