Modern methods of construction

Victoria’s construction industry is a pillar of the state’s economy, producing quality homes, business premises, schools, hospitals and infrastructure to support our growing population.

Building on these strong foundations, we're supporting our construction industry to innovate and benefit from new technologies.

What is Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)?

MMC refers to a broad spectrum of innovative prefabrication and offsite manufacturing techniques, including modular construction, panelised systems, kit-of-parts and additive manufacturing. Buildings and components are manufactured off‑site before being transported and installed on‑site.

Victoria is already home to around 200 companies with capabilities spanning the entire MMC supply chain, from design and manufacture through to on‑site assembly and installation. To learn more and find a local business, view our Victorian Prefabricated Construction Directory.

How are we supporting the uptake of MMC in the state?

We're advancing MMC through an ambitious package of initiatives and reforms to fast track the sector’s growth. This is to achieve our objective of building more houses, more quickly and more affordably across metropolitan and regional locations.

With 97% of housing in Victoria delivered by private developers and builders, there are significant opportunities for partnerships with MMC manufacturers to support the traditional construction industry to deliver housing with MMC at scale.
