Possible questions
- What are the major challenges for MMC development impacting on your business’s ability to continue and grow?
- Several Category 1 businesses have closed over the past year. Do you think they failed because of issues that were specific to their business models or are there wider barriers to Category 1 businesses from taking off?
- In your business’s experience, would specific building regulations on MMC make it easier for warranty and insurance providers to assess risk and value?
- Does the lack of a comprehensive database on the performance of MMC act as a barrier to obtaining warranties and insurance for MMC-delivered homes?
- What do you see as the proper role of Government in the development of MMC?
- Are the existing training programmes in the construction industry adequate to equip the workforce to use MMC effectively?
