It is helping to support this growth through its approval process for manufacturers, which provides accreditation for MMC products and systems, meaning developers and builders know they have been checked and will be accepted for warranty cover.<\/p>\n<p>This ebook examines the evolution of MMC and their growing role in all aspects of the construction industry, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/the-complexity-of-facades-and-the-risks-involved\/37078\/\">facades<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It looks at the reasons behind the growing popularity of MMC, from their flexibility and environmentally friendly construction processes to the faster return on investment and improved savings.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a case study of how MMC helped developer HUB and M&amp;G Real Estate, one of the world\u2019s largest property investors, deliver the \u00a349m Rehearsal Rooms projects in North Acton, one of the UK&#8217;s first institutionally backed Build to Rent schemes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Clive Everett, Premier Guarantee&#8217;s Facades Technical Standards Director, discusses the importance of fa\u00e7ade specialists in today&#8217;s construction industry, some of the risks involved with these complex systems and his top tips for avoiding fa\u00e7ade failures.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ebook examines the evolution of MMC and their growing role in all aspects of the construction industry, including facades<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":37266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"stakeholder_rel_tag":[172501],"ebook_category":[172215,172225],"ebook_tag":[172214,172227],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-37265","1":"ebook","2":"type-ebook","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"stakeholder_rel_tag-premier-guarantee"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>MMC and its role in the construction industry | Construction eBooks &amp;
