We have achieved a 17 per cent investment under the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) Joint Industry Working Group Modern Methods of Construction Definition Framework. Even though our opportunities to innovate depend on the detail of the planning consent for each project, we remain on target to achieve a 20 per cent investment in modern methods of construction during 2023. “In 2021 we will further develop our application of integrated innovation to help secure operational efficiency measures, through Embodied Carbon (EC) and Circular Economy (CE) workstreams (looking towards WLC models), aligned with the increased use of BIM. These improvements will be instigated through supply chain innovation roundtable events, based on Chatham House principles, to accelerate sectorial solutions to these challenges.” Rocio Aldana-Sanchez, Senior Pre-Construction Coordinator, BLL Champion of spend invested in modern methods of construction (2020: 13%) 17% 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
