Islington council is putting modern methods of construction (MMC) at the centre of a new £1.2bn construction framework which will see a range of building works over a four-year period.

The north London borough said the majority of works would be for residential mixed-tenure new-build, which include refurbishment or conversion schemes that would be procured either as part of a combined new-build, refurbishment or conversion schemes, or on a standalone basis.

Islington said it wanted to promote the use of modern methods of construction across the works.
