Are you aware how outdated and obsolete traditional construction has become? It is striking how in the midst of the technological boom and the worldwide digital transformation we live in, the construction industry continues using the same technologies our ancestors knew. Unwilling to evolve beyond the brick, that 5000 years old invention, highly inefficient and costly due to its labor needs and overrun costs. Not unlike the blockbuster-netflix battle where the ones who dared to innovate and evolve rose victorious, we see today more and more pioneers that rethink our ways and help us improve.

But why is it so hard to evolve? The primary reason for this is the reluctance of those on top to innovate and advance. The main evidence for this is how few companies have a Research and Development team and the little to no investment in innovation.To compare, the automobile industry dedicated amounts as high as 16 billion dollars to their R&D teams, not unlike the tech industry.

Now more than ever, time has come for innovation to really benefit construction. By which means? By the usage of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). As Cast Consultancy’s CEO Mark Farmer points out in “Modernise or Die”.

There are three main issues with construction today, all linked to our ways and unwillingness to improve. Our only way out is to adopt MMC and those sets of technologies designed to introduce tech and rationalization, resulting in a more efficient and cost effective product. This is relevant to both on-site and especially off-site construction. Achieving a higher standard of industrialization and quality, while reducing labor and costs. Take as an example the Wuhan’s hospital built in just 12 days. Or the 57 stories high building in Chan, which took just 19 days to be assembled.

MMC is our next step towards solving the housing crisis, while still producing quality products that are sustainable and efficient.  just pick one of the many options the MMC world has to offer and that has already been proven and just start seeing how big an improvement you see in your construction sites.
