Comments

Guide for use: Note that the material genre is only applied to structural categories 1 to 4a of the Modern Methods of Construction Framework:

Category 1 Pre-manufacturing – 3D primary structural systems (Volumetric)

  • This refers to three dimensional units manufactured in factories and delivered to the site where they are installed. The units include structural framing with roofing and come without or without cladding and with or without internal fit-outs (such as bathrooms and kitchens).

Category 2 Pre-manufacturing – 2D primary structural systems (Panelised)

  • This refers to flat panel units that are made in factories and assembled onsite to produce a house or apartment. The units include walls, roof and floors, insulation and linings, cladding, windows, roofing and doors.

Category 3 Pre-manufacturing - non systemised primary structure

  • This refers to the use of pre-manufactured structural members made of framed or mass engineered timber, cold rolled or hot rooled steel or pre-cast concrete. It includes load bearing beam, columns, walls, core structures and slabs that are not substantially in-situ workplace constructed and that are not part of a systemised design.

Category 4 Additive manufacturing – (structural and non-structural)

  • This includes substantive structural forms and components and non structural components.
