Modern Methods of Construction: Streamlining your Projects

With over 20 years of expertise in Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), we deliver efficient, high-quality solutions that optimise every stage of a project. By integrating off-site, factory-assembled techniques, we accelerate delivery, enhance quality control, and reduce risk.

We specialise in a wide range of MMC approaches, including:
  • Concrete Frames/Modular High-Rise RC Frames
  • Full Volumetric Frames
  • Precast Frames
  • CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber)
  • Unitised Steel Cassette Frames
  • Steel-Concrete Hybrid Frames
Collaborating for the Right MMC Approach

Engaging early in the design process allows us to work closely with developers and the wider design team to evaluate MMC solutions, such as:

  • Category 1: Full 3D volumetric off-site construction
  • Category 2: 2D panelised off-site construction
  • On-site and hybrid MMC approaches
How this benefits you

We benchmark these methods against traditional construction techniques, balancing cost, programme duration, embodied carbon, and planning requirements. This analysis shapes the development strategy, enabling foundations and substructures to progress while superstructure decisions are still being finalised. Early engagement ensures time savings, flexibility, and smoother project delivery.

Taking Sustainability Seriously

Sustainability is in our DNA and we have our own ambitious goals to achieve Net Zero as a business and with our designs. With innovative in-house monitoring tools, Walsh clients have seen on average reductions of 10-20% total embodied carbon, with some of our flagship work achieving 60-70% reductions compared with baseline figures.
