Modern Methods of Construction (MMC): Guidance for Building Standards Verification

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC): Guidance for Building Standards Verification

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to Local Authority verifiers and Certifiers as defined under the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 when assessing building warrant applications and certifying works which use Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and when assessing the compliance of MMC buildings during construction with the building warrant approved drawings and regulations.

It should be noted that for MMC projects - as with all building warrant projects - the proposed design can only be approved if the verifier is satisfied that compliance with the regulations is demonstrated - including Regulation 8 - Durability, workmanship and fitness of materials.
