Abstract
Aims to provide surveyors with an insight into how to differentiate between houses built using modern methods of construction (MMC) and those built using more ‘traditional’ site-based techniques. There is, though, no precise definition of what constitutes a modern method of construction. This guide provides; an overview of the principal forms of housing constructed by modern methods to demonstrate the fundamental differences between these methods of construction and those expected to be used on a block and brick cavity based building; and specific examples of the visual clues that can help the surveyor to recognise what form of construction has been used.
