With this in mind we’ve analysed our data and identified the top ten projects (by total project value) featuring an MMC element starting on-site in 2021, to help illustrate the size of the opportunity.

We can show you every project in the U.K. where MMC is featured - with all the relevant decision maker contact details of course - just request a free demo and we’ll be in touch to arrange a convenient time to show you.
