Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) encompass technologies and processes like prefabrication and off-site assembly, aimed at enhancing material efficiency, accelerating housing delivery, and improving design quality while reducing resource consumption. Key considerations for performance measurement include business efficiency, building quality, environmental performance, and customer satisfaction, as highlighted by various industry reports. Developers are encouraged to implement key performance indicators and provide evidence of financial viability and warranty provisions for their projects.

 The National Audit Office report
Homebuilding: Measuring Construction
Performance (June 2007), recommends that
performance measures should be:
1. Comprehensive
2. covering business efficiency
3. quality of the building
4. environmental performance and customer
satisfaction.

 This is a theme also emphasised by the The
Callcutt Review of House building Delivery.
 The challenge of climate change requires a
step change in construction practice through
innovation and new technologies.
 This can best be achieved through a more
rigorous approach to the construction
process.

Construction process criteria assessed by the
DfM Competition included:
1. Manufacturing, supply and construction
programme
2. Supply chain management
3. Continuous improvement
4. Innovation risk management
5. Construction cost target.

 The quality and depth of the approach was
then judged as part of the proposed
second level of assessment.
 Developers were encouraged to adopt the
Constructing Excellence/Housing Forum
key performance indicators (KPIs) during
the development of projects.

Developers had to show evidence
that buildings will be capable of
attracting lending and insurance
cover and will provide consumers
with adequate post sale
warranties.

Developers were asked to adopt an
open book approach with English
Partnerships.
Including the collection and
publication of data.
Assessment at the first stage will
