[https://www.buildoffsite.com/content/uploads/2019/11/BoS-Glossary-2018_v2.pdf Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms], published by Buildoffsite in 2018, states: ‘While not part of the offsite spectrum, flat slabs are included in The Concrete Centre’s (2018) definition of modern methods of construction (MMC). Flat slabs are built quicker than traditional methods due to modern formwork being simplified and minimised and a combination of early striking and flying formwork systems. Use of prefabricated services can be maximised because of the uninterrupted service zones beneath the floor slab and there are no restrictions on the positioning of horizontal services and partitions.’
