Modern Methods of Construction Framework Agreement

Hyde has undertaken a comprehensive review of our approach to housing development, putting in place a forward looking and robust development programme aligned to Hyde’s 5 year Strategic plan. A critical part of its successful delivery is putting in place long term arrangements with a selected number of key partners, to further our ambitions in building innovative homes using Modern Method of Construction (MMC) systems.

Hyde has a significant planned development programme, and it is anticipated that circa 1,500 units per annum could be delivered across the Group’s main geographical areas of operation (mainly London, the South Coast, and Kent) - of which Hyde aspire to develop up to 10% of our programme utilising an MMC system.There are five categories used by the Housing Corporation to classify an MMC construction system.
